Rockhampton Region Mayor, Tony Williams said holding two NRL premiership rounds in Rockhampton would create history for the region.
“This will be the first time an NRL premiership match will be held in Rockhampton, and with not one but two games being held at Browne Park it will create history for our region,” Mayor Williams said.
“We know the interest is extremely high from not only locals, but our drive-market visitors.
“It’s very exciting to launch ticket sales for the Rockhampton rounds very soon.”
Advance Rockhampton Executive Manager, Greg Bowden said two games coming to the region would certainly boost the local economy.
“With local and visitors getting to Browne Park for the NRL games over the next two weekends our hospitality venues and our retail sector will receive a noticeable uplift in people traffic,” Mr Bowden said.
