It covers almost 65,000 square kilometres from the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area in the east, the Einasleigh Uplands in the south, the Gulf Plains to the west and the Cape York Peninsula in the north. Its this expanse and its elevation that means it lacks the humidity of the coastal parts of FNQ and has a fairly temperate climate. Much of the tablelands is also set on a volcanic plateau making the soil rich in nutrients and home to many thriving farms and producers. The area is known for its beef cattle, dairy products and crops such as bananas, mangoes, avocadoes, coffee, mixed vegetables and even tobacco. The main towns on the Tablelands are Mareeba, Malanda, Millaa Millaa, Kuranda, Yungaburra and of course, Atherton.

  • 5.6. Macrossan Street - State Road Designation
    62 of 215 5.6. MACROSSAN STREET - STATE ROAD DESIGNATION REPORT AUTHOR Michael Kriedemann, Executive Manager Infrastructure MANAGER Mark Stoermer, Chief Executive Officer DEPARTMENT Infrastructure RECOMMENDATION That Council resolves to: 1. Support the concept of Council ownership of Macrossan Street - Port Douglas, between Wharf and Davidson Streets; 2. Delegates authority under section 257 of the Local Government Act 2009 to the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate and finalise the transfer of ownership of Macrossan Street with the Queensland Department of Transport & Main Roads. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Macrossan Street, Port Douglas is a State Controlled Road and whenever Council plans improvements along the street it must seek approval from the Department of Transport and Main Roads approval (DTMR). At the Council Workshop held Tuesday 3 December 2019, Councillors discussed the idea of negotiating ownership of Macrossan Street with the Department of Transport & Main Roads. At this workshop, Councillors agreed that the Executive Manager Infrastructure was to discuss the idea with the DTMR corridor manager to gauge their appetite for relinquishing State Control of Macrossan Street. Some of the advantages to Council controlling Macrossan Street include: Council has final say on improvements; Council can close the road for events without seeking DTMR approval; The community see it as a Council road so this would enshrine this belief; Council can implement streetscape improvements such as ‘shared zones’, coloured pavements and textures,
