Abstract

Innisfail, Queensland, is surrounded by world-class natural attractions such as the Great Barrier Reef, World Heritage rainforests and diverse natural and cultural attractions on the Tablelands. The Cassowary Coast Regional Council has acknowledged the potential to tap into this strong existing regional tourism market by embarking on a master planning process aimed at attracting new visitors to Innisfail as well as rejuvenating economic activity in the town centre to help the town diversify from its agricultural base. What follows is a vision for a liveable and vibrant town centre that connects the Bruce Highway with Fitzgerald Esplanade and entices passing visitors into the town. Such revitalization provides opportunities for visitors and residents to use and value Innisfail’s public spaces and riverfront.

This Masterplan document summarises key strategies to create a revitalized townscape. It includes an analysis of the constraints and opportunities provided by Innisfail’s unique heritage and its natural assets including the working harbor. It devises wayfinding strategies to increase the legibility of Innisfail and ways to show off its distinctive character. The staging of upgrades to Anzac Park, Edith Street and Fitzgerald Esplanade are all integral to this vision.
