The Jezzine Barracks / Kissing Point / Garabarra redevelopment was a $40 million partnership between Townsville City Council, the Queensland Government and the Australian Government and opened in April 2014.
The 15-hectare heritage precinct commemorates the military and Aboriginal heritage of the Kissing Point headland through 34 specially commissioned public artworks, extensive interpretive signage and the restoration of significant elements of the Kissing Point Fort complex.
