Survey: What would you like – or not like – to see at the Cape?

EnvisionCape in Surveys September 4, 2019

Is there a better way for over 300 acres at Cape Roger Curtis to serve Bowen Islanders? If so, what would that look like for you? There is no rezoning plan yet, so this is the time of greatest flexibility for influencing a new approach. We welcome your input - as much or as little as you like. Thanks!
