The proposal to build a combined cocoa growing and processing, a chocolate manufacturing plant and tourist facility on the site of the Mossman Mill necessitated a master plan of the entire site. Careful analysis of the site led to a plan that:

  • Extended an existing internal road to create a strong new axis through the site.
  • Placed the tourist facility on a knoll overlooking a rainforest bound creek.
  • Provided an area for a Cocoa plantation.
  • Managed stormwater with retention and artificial wetlands
  • Organised the cocoa processing and chocolate manufactuiring facility around road and cane tram links.
  • Included an industrial subdivision.
  • Divided the large site into distinct precincts with defined character and landscape.
  • Rationalise the area the mill used.
  • Provided public parkland and improved public access.
