An economic cost/benefit study showed that the Project had the potential to deliver significant net benefits to the ACr and region. The benefits identified include 430 new jobs annually, travel savings to the ACT of $30 million annually, household income growth of $10 million annually and a broad stimulus to industry development and tourism.
