Hi Chopper
The Cape Edgecumbe Walking Trails Upgrade between Horseshoe Bay & Rose Bay is anticipated to commence in August. We are yet to have an exact start date yet from our contractors but will notify the community of exact track closure timings via our Yoursay project page, Facebook, newspaper notices and signage around the trails once we have an exact date. We expect to have the project start date known by mid July.
For more information on the project, check out our fact sheet.
Kind regards
Jonathan Cutting

Hi Sandra
We aren't sure exactly which you may be referring too. If located at Carlo Drive, it is a future health hub that will comprise medical and consulting offices. See the video here.
Please email jonathan.cutting@whitsundayrc.qld.gov.au if this isn't what you referred too and I'll help you figure it out!
Kind regards

Good Morning
The tree clearing on private property in Creek Road, Bowen was not associated with any Council works nor did it require Local Government approval. We are saddened to hear that there were birds nesting in the tree but are unable to change the result.
Kind regards
Share I have been a resident of Abell Road, Cannonvale for over 12 years. During this time, I have seen numerous new estates open in the area. All these estates feed into Abell Road which has now become almost as busy as Shute Harbour Road. Now we have numerous more new estates, five in total that have a opened in the last couple of months which will also feed into Abell Road for people travelling to Whitsunday Plaza, Reef Plaza, 2 x industrial estates and for travel to Proserpine. Our road is used, via the small one way section at the end of Valley Drive by people travelling to these locations from the entire area from Valley Drive to Country Road, Springfield Crescent, Trader Court and now five more huge estates which have opened recently. Once these new estates are completed, I believe Abell Road will be just as busy, if not busier than Shute Harbour Road. Abell Road is approximately 4 metres wide and is completely incapable of carrying traffic of this magnitude. This road is extremely dangerous now and will only become way worse in the near future. I would like to know what Council intend to do with the one way street between Valley Drive and Abell Road once these new estates open up. Surely, if common sense prevails, the one way section will be closed off with a house or parkland, which will relieve the pressure and danger on Abell Road. It is unbelievable the amount of vehicles that travel against the one way sign as it is, so with much more traffic it only becomes much more dangerous. By closing the one way section, it will allow traffic from the areas mentioned above to utilise Valley Drive and Tropic Road to gain access to Shute Harbour Road which relieves heavy traffic in one area. I believe this needs to be done as soon as possible and as a matter of urgency before there is a serious accident or a child or elderly pedestrian is hit by a car or truck. on Facebook

Hi Abell,
Thanks for your enquiry. Our Engineering Team are investigating the option of upgrading the Valley Drive -> Abell Road one way section, to be widened and opened for traffic moving both directions. Our investigation will occur in collaboration with Department of Transport Main Roads who manage the intersections along Shute Harbour Road, that would be impacted by our decision making for this one way section. This upgrade will be considered in a future annual budget.
Thanks, WRC Team
Share Why was the dingo beach community not consulted about the instalment of bollards which will literally cut access to tables that have been in the esplanade and useable for decades. And I don't mean consulting the progress association, I mean actually getting the rate paying community together and asking what they want. I don't disagree with installing bollards at the foreshore to protect the beach but installing them back at the road is absolutely ludicrous. Why all the secrecy? Most people who live there had no idea it was happening until Council posted on facebook the day it was to start being installed. on Facebook

Hi Kara,
The new bollards at Dingo Beach have been installed to try to stop illegal camping, to allow good grass cover on the park land for families to enjoy and to address the safety issues around kids/pedestrians having to contend with vehicles. In response to community concerns, Council has listened to the phone calls and emails received and have been able to change the design to allow for an access road and more parking to the left of the toilet block, and bollards have not been placed in the 150m section between the boat ramp and the pub.
Thanks, WRC Team

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for your enquiry. The Wilsons Beach swimming enclosure works have been out to tender twice over the past two years, and have received no suitable submissions during the tender processes. A report is being drafted which outlines the options moving forward and will be presented to Council at an upcoming briefing session. We will keep the community updated on the outcome of this report.
Thanks, WRC Team

Hi Jess, thanks for your query.
We are expecting works to begin within the next 6 months, pending approvals from the Queensland Government for the next round of Works for Queensland. Once we have further information we will update the community.
