Overview

The Coordinator-General invites you to have your say on a potential Mackay State Development Area (SDA) including its boundary.

The potential SDA would provide a unique opportunity to diversify the range of economy-boosting industrial development in the Mackay region, including renewable energy and biofutures industries, creating jobs and strengthening the Greater Whitsunday economy.

The potential Mackay SDA investigation area relates to two disaggregated investigation areas with a total area of approximately 1019 hectares at the Racecourse Mill and Rosella. Both areas offer their own unique opportunities.

Further information about the potential Mackay SDA is included in the Potential Mackay SDA Overview - August 2023 and the Potential Mackay SDA map attached below.
