On Saturday September 3, the Rules Beach $30million beachfront resort with 57 beach houses was officially launched by member for Burnett Stephen Bennett and Rules Beach Owner John Callanan.
“I am very excited to launch Rules Beach development after a 15 year planning and approval process and I am extremely grateful for Stephen Bennett’s support for getting Rules Beach up and running,” John Callanan said.
“It’s among the last beachfront communities in Australia and it’s great to see such a high interest from the local community with locals even coming down to show their support at the launch and over 1000 people follow us on Facebook for our latest updates.”
With local excavation company Cross Earthmoving already commenced the earthworks and G&D Lawrie Builders appointed to construct the beach houses; things are moving quickly at Rules Beach.
“It’s very important to me and a deliberate approach to support the local community by hiring local companies including construction workers and tourism operators to run the resort once up and running,” Mr Callanan said.
Member for Burnett Stephen Bennett said he was honoured to officially launch the development.
“I’m thrilled to be a part of the official launch of the Rules Beach Development and look forward to seeing this project come to life,” he said.
He said the resort once built will attract more tourism opportunities to the region.
“This is wonderful for our region and the economy and will provide the confidence boost we need.
“It will have significant economic benefits to the region – from tourism to generating much-needed jobs.
“The developer has a keen interest in employing locals and has engaged with a number of local builders to be part of the process. It means thousands of jobs for the region.
“I have no doubt this development will be a drawcard for our state’s domestic and international tourism, supporting jobs and the local economy.
“It’s just what the region needs to keep visitors coming back, eating in local cafes, and taking advantage of all our region has to offer.”
Rules Beach is due to open the first stage of the resort before Christmas 2017 and many interested people are requesting the Rules Beach information pack from the Rulesbeach.com.au website for this limited release.
