These projects will have an impact on prices and values on not only Bowen but most towns up the East coast from Bowen . The workers will choose where they want to live any where from Bowen to Mareeba or Cairns or to the south of Bowen. Most of the towns like Ingham have little capacity to take many more residents, and with smaller construction projects of their own in progress or coming up , it can mean one thing. eg Ingham has new Sugar Mill to be commenced in next 12 mths 500+ workers needed. Rents and prices are rising now .
