Mornings with John Mackenzie

John MacKenzie chats with Craig Crawford, ALP State Member for Barron River, about the owner of Double Island at Palm Cove, and the involved responsibilities as per the lease conditions.
One of the primary condition that has not been met is the opening of day-use favilties to the public for all to enjoy Double Island. Mr. Benny Wu purchased the lease in 2012 for nearly $6-million.
Minister Crawford explained that the conditons have not been met by the deadlines given (March 2023) by the State Government and that it is likely that the lease will be forfeited.
