Big issues in a big issue of Newsport Daily Print
Newsport Daily Print
A bed or tourist tax for Port Douglas is the big topic in this week’s FREE print edition of Newsport Daily… not only if one should be implemented, but if that is even what Mayor Lisa Scomazzon meant by her address to the most recent council meeting.
We get the detail from the powers on just who and how a tourist tax could be applied if the plan, which seemingly has the support from the Mayor, is to progress. And the Mayor has had something to say on how we have covered the story.
There has been no shortage of reader reaction to the news, and that features in our comprehensive letters and comments space, along with other hot topics.
All roads lead to Douglas, it seems, with the Great Barrier Reef Drive rated one of the best road trips for foodies anywhere in Australia and The World on its way to our shores, the luxury live aboard cruise ship that is. We also reveal what a local politician feels is the biggest challenge to the upkeep of those roads.
Plans to land Douglas on the World Heritage whale watching map are pushing along, with council giving its support, we show how our valued police have been remembered and give you updates on exciting new and much loved businesses in our region.
Mareeba cowboy Kurt Shephard has been crowned the PBR Australian Champion in what is quite possibly the toughest sport of all, while a full on Fight Night in Port Douglas has been captured in pics by Shaun Hollis.
