AQUIS GREAT BARRIER REEF RESORT

Townsville Industry Breakfast 2 December 2014

So What Is Aquis?

• Mr Fung’s vision is an “Iconic first class unique modern piece of man made infrastructure” that is a compelling reason to come from there to here and most importantly to refer and return

• A “must see” man made “wonder of the world”

• iconic enough and big enough to be “must see“ or the people will not come

• The complete package is a – A first class iconic man made asset in conjunction with world class natural tourism assets in conjunction with high quality services (accommodation; casino; food and beverage; retail shopping; entertainment) and a focused and directed relevant marketing campaign

• Omit one part of the package and the offering will not be competitive at all

– Land 121

• Industry opportunities

• Accessing JLU(NQ)


Who, where, what – JLU(NQ) • Lavarack Barracks, Ross Island Barracks, RAAF Base Townsville,

Macrossan

• Logistics support to international and domestic operations and training activities, including:

– Warehousing & Distribution

– Loan Pool (Vehicle, Construction and ‘Party Equipment’ Hire)

• Land Materiel Maintenance: – Trade repair is an important part of the Business

Model

– Trade repair is managed by Commonwealth maintenance planning staff at JLU(NQ)

– Investment in North Queensland providing a sustainable, flexible, long term regional maintenance footprint

• FY 13/14 approx $6M to trade houses, $4M to labour hire companies employing Townsville residents


Regional Changes

• Plan BEERSHEBA – Rebalance of Army’s combat force to make Brigades more alike

– Generation of Armoured Cavalry Regiments in Townsville, Darwin, and

Brisbane

– 2014 - re-introduction of armoured vehicles to NQ

• M113AS4 Personnel Carrier

– Late 2015 – introduction of M1A1 Abrams Tank to NQ

• Land 121

– Replacement of light and medium vehicle fleets

– G Wagon slowly replacing Landrover 110

• Mercedes Benz Australia endorsed repairer for G-Wagon

• Large Landrover 110 fleet remains

– Critically managing Unimog / Mack fleets for 5-8 years

• Industry opportunities likely limited to non-armoured fleets


Industry opportunities

• Fleets expected to be supported by trade repair using local

industry:

– Plant / Construction Equipment

– Materiel Handling Equipment

– B Vehicles (light and medium trucks)

– Bulk Liquid Distribution assets, (Fuel/Water tankers & pumps)

– Fire fighting equipment

– Canvas repairs


Accessing JLU(NQ)
