It is important to understand that the Cairns Yacht Club Inc (The Club) will be moving out of this building to another new building being buiult by the Cairns Port Authority for the Cairns Yacht Club thus leaving the old building vacant until it is disposed of.
The Aquatic Building (Cairns Yacht Club Building) is
Located at No. 4 Wharf Street Cairns opposite the Cairns Reef Casino.
The real property description is :
Lot 10 on SP113633
Lot 15 on SP1122865
and delineated on  plan commissioned by the Environmental Protection Agency IS174589

The Heritage Listing was defeated under very contentious circumstances.  But the Cairns people have not accepted that this Historic Building is not worthy of Heritage Listing.

INFORMATION.
The Building will be demolished and NOT moved to the new seven million dollar Yacht Club Site at the Eastern side of the pier.
The Cairns Yacht Club Inc, (The Club) has said it will move out of the Aquatic Building at years end.

PROPOSED NEW BUILDING BEING BUILT BY THE CAIRNS PORT AUTHORITY FOR THE CAIRNS YACHT CLUB Inc.
