Pelorus Island
Pelorus Island is located 800 meters north of Orpheus Island near Townsville. The secluded island is the most northern in the Great Palm Island group and is surrounded by spectacular fringing reef accessible straight from the beach.
Project overview
Pelorus Island will soon be home to a $6 million private boutique retreat that will help attract visitors and generate jobs for the region.
With funding from the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) Island Resorts Rejuvenation Fund, the new development will house new renewable energy infrastructure and water supply infrastructure.
