Whitsunday Regional Council Announces Boardwalk Upgrades

The Whitsunday Regional Council has announced upgrades and works for the Bicentennial Boardwalk (from Lagoon to Coral Sea). Works on the final stage of the boardwalk will commence on Monday 27 April and are expected to run through to late June with a detour in place via Mazlin Street and Hillcrest Avenue.  

The upgrades will create a wider boardwalk and footpath between Lagoon and Coral Sea Resort with new durable decking to reduce maintenance costs. These upgrades ensure a safe and more accessible structure for everyone.

Work hours will generally occur between 7am and 6pm, Monday to Friday, with some earlier starts required for concrete pours. Residents and visitors may notice increased construction activity, including heavy vehicle movements and temporary changes to traffic and parking conditions.

Whilst under construction, the boardwalk section will be closed until late June and parking at Broadwater Avenue will be reduced until early May.

Pedestrians, cyclists and motorists are asked to take care around the work zone, follow all signage and directions from traffic controllers, and allow extra time when travelling through the area.
