Important leases renewed
INDIGENOUS walking tours at Rex Creek, Mossman Gorge, will continue under another 10-year trustee lease between Douglas Shire Council and the Indigenous Land and Sea Corporation (ILSC).
The council also endorsed the land management plan for the reserve land that includes the lease area.
The Port Douglas Outrigger Canoe Club has entered into another 10-year trustee lease with the council, thereby ensuring their continued use of their shed located at Four Mile Beach Park.
Similarly, the Port Douglas Rugby Club has also secured a 10-year trustee lease for the clubhouse overlooking the rugby field at the Port Douglas Sports Complex.
Douglas Shire Council Mayor Lisa Scomazzon said the council was pleased to endorse the ongoing commitments.
“The Mossman Gorge walking tours are popular with visitors and we were keen for those to continue while it was important we could provide these two sporting clubs at Port Douglas with a secure future, given the value they provide to our community,” she said.
