Premium Content Subscriber only Mining giant Bravus has halted plans to revive a vacant block of council land in the heart of Bowen in a decision that has disappointed the local business community, Whitsunday Regional Council in October last year approved the sale of a 1.017ha block at 9D Dalrymple Street to Bravus, formerly Adani. The new building, designed to replace the rail company’s “temporary” office on Williams Street, would have created 50 jobs, a spokesman said ahead of the approval. But Bowen Chamber of Commerce chairman Bruce Hedditch said the $710,000 sale was no longer going ahead as planned, and the community had not been given a satisfactory explanation.
