Mayfair releases plans for Dunk Island Spit upgrade

Mayfair Iconic Properties has released its initial plans for upgrades to the Dunk Island Spit.

It suggests the plans are the first step in its plans to reinstate Dunk Island and the greater Mission Beach area as a premier tourism destination.

Mayfair CEO, Stuart Duplock, said, “our team is committed to activating Dunk Island for locals and tourists as part of our broader plans to breathe life back into the Mission Beach economy. The new Spit bar will provide people the opportunity to enjoy a meal and drink accompanied by one of the best views in the world over the iconic Dunk Island Spit.”

For the design of the area, Mayfair Iconic Properties is working with Port Douglas-based architectural firm Hunt Design, Cassowary Coast Regional Council and environmental consultants, among others.

Mayfair Iconic Properties announcement comes following its selection as the preferred tenderer by the Cassowary Coast Regional Council for the 30-year lease of the Dunk Island Spit.

Mr Duplock said that he expects that the upgrades will be complete and the Spit be fully operational in time for the beginning of the tourist season in June 2020.

Mayfair Iconic Properties previously announced it has purchased over 200 properties on the mainland including the former Dunk Island Resort.

Final plans for the Spit are subject to council approval.
