As a part of the Innisfail CBD Revitalisation Staging and Implementation Plan 2023-2057, Cassowary Coast Regional Council is prioritising the Northern Gateway (Part A) as our Stage 1 Project for 2024-2025. Council officers, in collaboration with Vee Design, have developed a preliminary 30% design for this project.

The Northern Gateway Project aims to create a distinct and welcoming entry point to the Innisfail CBD from the north, reflecting the unique identity and character of Innisfail. This design is the result of extensive community engagement and input from key stakeholders, ensuring that it reflects our shared vision for the future.

Council invites you to review the preliminary design and share your thoughts. Your feedback is essential in shaping a project that meets the needs of our community and aligns with our future aspirations.

Cassowary Coast Regional Council has endorsed the Innisfail CBD Revitalisation Staging Delivery Plan 2023 – 2057 at the October 2023 Local Government Meeting.

Council will kick start the staging of the delivery with the Edith Street Urban Rainforest as the priority short term initiative. This initiative will introduce lush tropical planting along Edith Street, reflecting Innisfail’s tropical setting and enhancing the Art Deco features.

Illuminate Innisfail is another priority short-term initiative that was strongly supported by the community during consultation. Council will develop a full scope of works that will seek to deliver illuminating feature trees and Jubilee Bridge lighting to enhance the town’s ambiance, promote safety, and create a captivating journey for residents and visitors.
