“The new campus will also generate more than $500m in economic activity for the region over its first decade of operation, the positive ripple effects of which will be felt across The new campus could support up to 4000 students a year by 2030.

Modelling by Cummings Economics shows 330 jobs in construction (80 direct) and more than 300 jobs directly from expanded university operations, up to 500 jobs (indirectly) over the long term, a $41m boost to the region’s economy during construction, up to $70m a year over the long term and total contribution of $549m to the region’s economy over 10 years.

PHOTOGRAPHERS are being invited to send in their best images of the Far North for the annual Leichhardt Community Calendar Competition.

Federal Leichhardt MP Warren Entsch is calling for photographs that showcase the iconic elements of the region for his 13th calendar.

“The Leichhardt electorate is home to some of Australia’s most breathtaking landscapes, ranging from the vibrant sunflower fields in Cairns to the turquoise coral cays of the Torres Strait and everything in between,” he said.

“With such a diverse and beautiful backdrop, local photographers have endless opportunities to capture the essence of our communities, people, events, flora, and fauna.”

“Creating this calendar is always a highlight of my year.

“This competition offers a fantastic platform for locals to display their photography talents to thousands of businesses across Far North Queensland.

“The 14 best shots – one for each month plus a front and back cover – will be featured in this year’s calendar, alongside the name of each photographer and details of where each photo was taken."

The images must be within the electorate. The southern boundary is White Rock, and to the west, parts of Kuranda and Speewah. The boundary then extends west to the Gulf of Carpentaria, taking in all of Cape York and the Torres Strait.

Images must be in landscape format, highresolution JPEG digital image (minimum size 1Mb and resolution 300dpi) and be received by close of business on Friday, May 12.
