Subscriber only A PROPOSED development for a crocodile farm tourist park on the Cassowary Coast has been downscaled due to onerous requirements. A town planning report submitted to the Cassowary Coast Regional Council on behalf of Bikucroc Pty Ltd proposed the crocodile farm also operate as a tourism activity, providing for tourist visitation to the site involving the exhibition of other native and exotic fauna, including cassowary and African ostrich, iguana, pythons, turtles and goats (and) kangaroos.
