The Mareeba Industrial Park has a number of attributes which make it the most suitable location for large scale industrial development in Far North Queensland:
- an abundant supply of relatively inexpensive, appropriately zoned land which will see over 180 ha of land being progressively developed over the next thirty years
- a secure water supply
- able to accommodate all types of industrial activity
- centrally located with sealed all weather road access
- close to both rail and road transport depots
- underground power, water, sewerage and telephone services provided to each lot
- business owners can invest and be secure in the knowledge that there are adequate resources to support future growth and expansion opportunities

As a condition of acquisition, a buyer must submit a development plan for the land they seek to acquire.
