The HIVE is a unique 18,000m2 placemaking project with a focus on supporting marine science, heritage, arts and culture. The site is uniquely located adjacent to the Strand as well as existing tourism and educational experiences such as Reef HQ Aquarium and Turtle Hospital, the Museum of Tropical Queensland and a short walk to the departure point to dive the Museum of Underwater Art. The redevelop

ment will transform the city and become an iconic Townsville landmark, capitalising on its unique location to significantly increase tourism to the region, provide short term jobs during construction and long term permanent jobs to boost the economy of Townsville and North Queensland. The HIVE has secured a Federal Government department as the anchor tenant of stage 1, the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority's head office. Future stages will include tertiary education, marine and tropical science research, tourism facilities, a concert hall and convention centre, residential apartments, medical and allied health facilities, commercial office space (10,000m2 approved), an indigenous art gallery, performance space, open spaces, and provide a link from the Strand to the CBD. The HIVE is a city changing project that will showcase and celebrate the uniqueness of the region.
