A New Coastal Connection
A brand-new walking track is on the way to the region and set to link two towns in Cape Gloucester pending approvals from Queensland Government.
Whitsunday Regional Council have commenced the process with the State Government to construct a walking track between the coastal towns of Dingo beach and Hydeaway Bay.
Initially to be constructed as an earth walking track, there is the possibility of converting the new route to a sealed path which could be used as a cycleway.
The alignment of the walkway has already been flagged and Council are now awaiting approval from the Queensland Government.
Whitsunday Regional Council Acting Mayor Mike Brunker said the walking track would be a great addition to the Cape Gloucester area.
“This track will provide a welcome connection between these two beautiful towns and add an extra activity for visitors in the area,” the Acting Mayor said.
“The walkway will offer breathtaking views of the azure bays and offer magnificent vistas over Gloucester and Saddleback Island.
“This is just another way we can discover the hidden gems in our backyard.”
Acting Mayor Brunker said that state approval can take some time; however, the council are confident that approval can be achieved this year.
Council will apply for a grant to construct the track once the required approval has been granted.
