$100M HITS RIGHT NOTE
CAITLAN CHARLES
A $100m concert hall will become the centrepiece of a multimillion-dollar funding commitment for North Queensland.
The federal government has announced three projects to be funded with the leftover $140m from the Haughton Pipeline stage 2 kitty with $12m for the Lansdown Eco-industrial precinct, $2m for a feasibility study into recycled water for green hydrogen in Townsville and $2m for a business case into the concert hall. This leaves $124m remaining, $100m of which the federal government intends to invest in the concert hall.
