An anonymous Australian Developer has been given the green light to move forward with a $1.2b development on Hummock Hill Island.

The approval came from the State Government last Monday and will allow the construction of 2500 residential units, including 770 permanent homes as well as resorts.

The Gladstone Regional Council previously said the project was too big and unnecessary but this ruling was overturned by the state, a move that hasn’t been made in four years.
