Mission Beach town centre revitalisation nears completion
Published on 11 December 2025
After 18 months of transformation, the Mission Beach town centre revitalisation project is nearly complete, with the final streetscape works now underway.
The $16.7 million project has significantly reshaped Porter Promenade and the beachfront precinct – opening clearer views to the foreshore, strengthening infrastructure for the future, and creating a safer, accessible, and more welcoming town centre for locals and visitors.
Major works already completed include new stormwater infrastructure, a new watermain, underground power, and removal of ageing structures and garden beds.
Final works underway and close to completion include footpath upgrades, landscaping, finalising awning roofing for shopfronts, street lighting, new street furniture including a new bus shelter, and the final fit-out of the new toilet block.
“We’re almost at the finish line. Mission Beach is really starting to come to life,” Mayor Teresa Millwood said.
“This project will breathe life back into this iconic destination, unleash its tremendous tourism potential, and create opportunities for investment, economic growth, and prosperity,” she said.
“I know these works haven’t been easy, and I want to thank the community for sticking with us. Your resilience, patience, and the way you’ve worked with us through all the ups and downs has been admirable.
“I also want to thank all Cassowary Coast Regional Council staff and Councillors who have been involved; this has been one of the biggest projects in our region, and their dedication and hard work should be acknowledged.”
Councillor Trudy Tschui said she was confident the new-look town centre would strengthen community connection, support local businesses, and enhance Mission Beach’s unique character.
“The revitalisation project has aimed to transform the heart of Mission Beach, and it’s very exciting to see the community’s vision come to fruition,” Councillor Tschui said.
“Our ultimate goal is for Mission Beach to be accessible, vibrant, and welcoming to all, with a wonderful family-friendly environment that entices visitors and locals to linger longer.”
While final works are underway, visitors and locals should take note of alternate pedestrian routes, traffic controls, and signage. Access to businesses will be maintained at all times.
Visitors and locals are reminded that parking has changed in the precinct, so it’s important to follow all signs and be aware that parking inspectors are out and about.
Parking is available on Porter Promenade, and the first stage of the revitalisation project delivered more than 50 additional off-street carparks off Campbell Street and Endeavor Avenue.
Importantly, drivers should follow the speed limits.
“Mission Beach should be a safe and enjoyable place for everyone, including children,” Councillor Tschui said.
The Mission Beach Town Centre Revitalisation Project was jointly funded thanks to $7.9 million from the Australian Government, $3.5 million from the Queensland Government, and $5.2 million from the Cassowary Coast Regional Council.
