Whitsunday Coast Airport Master Plan Review

Whitsunday Regional Council are undertaking a review and update of the Whitsunday Coast Airport (WCA) Master Plan 2015.

We are seeking input to inform our Whitsunday Coast Airport Masterplan from local community, industry, aviation, tourism and related operators to help create a strategic plan that defines investment priorities for our airports future.

The Master Plan is used to strategically guide the development and expansion of the airport. A review is now practical following the recent and significant growth in passenger numbers and aircraft traffic.

We are looking to determine if the infrastructure solutions proposed in the 2015 Plan remain relevant or require reconsideration. An important part of this process is developing a clear understanding of the aviation related needs of the broader Whitsunday community.

Read our fact sheet and have your say via our Online Engagement Portal yoursay.whitsundayrc.qld.gov.au or organise a catch-up with our master planning facilitator.

Choose Collinsville – Town Centre Upgrade

We are undertaking works in Stanley Street from Monday 17 July - early September, to upgrade and renew the Collinsville Main Street. The upgrade will revitalise and create a ‘like new’ feel in Stanley Street, aligning with our Main Street upgrades completed in Bowen, Proserpine and Airlie Beach.

Works will occur in stages, with short term impacts expected for any one business/resident, at any one time. Our local workers will create small work sites as they undertake construction through the street during July and early August. Impacts to traffic may be noticed late August as asphalting and road re-seal is undertaken.

We apologise for the inconvenience of the necessary works and will endeavour to minimise impacts on the community where possible. We encourage you to keep up to date on construction progress via our Online Engagement Portal - yoursay.whitsundayrc.qld.gov.au and Council’s Facebook page.

Works are supported by the Australian Governments Building Better Regions Fund.
