Roads Re-seal Program 2026
Whitsunday Regional Council is committed to maintaining and improving the region's road network to ensure safe, reliable and efficient transport connections for residents, businesses and visitors.
With more than 566 kilometres of sealed roads and almost 1,800 kilometres of roads across the Whitsunday Region, ongoing maintenance is essential to protecting the significant investment our community has made in local infrastructure.
As part of Council's annual road maintenance program, a number of roads throughout Bowen and Airlie Beach will undergo resealing works during June 2026. Road resealing is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of existing road surfaces, improve driving conditions and reduce the need for more costly reconstruction works in the future.
