Last weekend Jubilee Tavern was a pub with a purpose hosting Airlie Beach’s Biggest Meat Tray Raffle, with all proceeds being donated to Whitsunday Suicide Prevention. What started as a classic Aussie pub raffle to promote the newly renovated pub grew into something much bigger as the pub set their sights on creating what could be Australia’s biggest meat tray, in tandem with Master Butchers, Stuart Drive. In the end, the tray was so impressive it had to be transported around the venue on a pallet on a forklift. The tray included over $600 worth of meat, tickets to the Airlie Beach Festival of Music, and more than $300 in food and beverage vouchers. Behind the fun was a cause that really matters to the local community. Suicide is something that affects families, friends, workplaces and communities across Australia, particularly in regional areas. The venue therefore decided to use this event to bring people together, raise funds, and start positive conversations around mental health support. "We were absolutely blown away by the support from the Airlie Beach community,” said Senior Venue Manager Ellie Goulding. “What started as a fun idea to create the biggest meat tray raffle we've ever seen quickly became something much more meaningful, with locals, businesses and visitors all getting behind an important cause. “The atmosphere on the day was incredible, and seeing so many people come together to support Whitsunday Suicide Prevention was really special. Community is at the heart of what we do at Jubilee Tavern, and we're proud to have raised over $4k and awareness for an organisation that does such important work in our area." 1,2 – Jubilee Tavern created a ginormous Meat Tray Raffle to celebrate their renovation, with proceeds going to Whitsunday Suicide Prevention.

The Mt Challenger Wind Farm has opened applications for its Community Fund, providing financial support to not-for-profit organisations, community groups and sporting clubs across the Proserpine and Bowen region. Applications will be open from 1st June to 12th July 2026, with $40,000 available in this funding round. Eligible groups can apply for grants of up to $10,000 to support projects that deliver meaningful and lasting benefits to local communities. The fund is designed to support initiatives within 30 kilometres of the proposed project, encouraging participation, strengthening local connections, and delivering positive outcomes for communities including Proserpine and Bowen. Alinta Energy Chief Development Officer Andres Maasing said the program reflects a commitment to supporting local priorities during the project’s development phase. “We recognise there are diverse views about the proposed Mt Challenger Wind Farm and respect the strength of community sentiment,” Mr Maasing said. “Through this funding, our focus is to provide practical support to local organisations delivering important work on the ground - from youth programs and community events to environmental initiatives and essential upgrades.” Mr Maasing said that if the Mt Challenger Wind Farm project proceeds, as well as supporting QLD’s energy supply and grid, it could bring meaningful investment into the region – including construction and operations jobs, local procurement, potential road and infrastructure upgrades, environmental enhancement programs and support for community initiatives. The Community Fund will prioritise projects that demonstrate clear community benefit, encourage local engagement, are sustainable beyond the grant period, and show strong governance. Eligible initiatives or activities may span community, education, employment, environmental, and youth sporting and interest group undertakings leading to positive social and economic participation outcomes.

More than 50 local tourism operators and industry members headed out to Dingo Beach last week for a Tourism Whitsundays networking event. The regular evenings serve as chance for local businesses to catch up, hear the latest news and talk all things tourism.

Firefighters and their families gathered to wish the Proserpine Fire and Rescue Station a happy 75th anniversary this weekend, meeting at the station on Saturday 30th May to celebrate. Little ones were delighted by demonstrations, fire trucks and equipment on display, whilst moving speeches and much deserved awards were delivered to firefighters in front of their proud loved ones. A commemorative honour board was also unveiled, recognising the 158 firefighters who have served in the brigade over the years. Auxiliary Captain Brian Little led proceedings, reflecting on his 39 years with the station. “In this ever-changing community environment, one thing has stayed static and that is the commitment, dedication and skill level of the local men and women that commit to being an auxiliary fire fighter at QFD Proserpine,” he shared. “The auxiliary fire fighters at all hours commit to turning out to help the community in a time of need with very little acknowledgement or thanks.” “The one thing that was evident from my very first day as an auxiliary fire fighter was the team moral, respect, passion and inclusive family environment created. These attributes are still evident in 2026.” As part of the commemoration, Former Auxiliary Firefighter Lieutenant Captain Frank “Bob” Robert Spencer was asked to reflect on the history of the Proserpine brigade. He shared that the Proserpine brigade crew has always had great camaraderie, making the station “The envy of other auxiliary stations,” explaining that “You had to have a sense of humour.” “Humour was sometimes used at debriefs to destress and unwind after some stressful callbacks,” Bob recounted. “The drills were taken quite seriously, but sometimes at the end of drills one crew would sneak up on the other crew while they were packing up and a water fight would ensue. “We would all arrive back at the station with both fire appliances and crews soaking wet. The Chief would take one look, shake his head and walk away.” “I am proud and grateful for the small part I played in the history of the Proserpine Fire Brigade,” Bob shared. “I am thinking of all those I served with who are no longer with us. They were good men who were also proud of the service.” Superintendent Sven Diga of the Townsville Division/Mackay Command highlighted that ‘skill, teamwork and dedication is what this team prides themselves on’. “It has been a sanctuary of safety, a hub of courage and a cornerstone of serving the Proserpine community, as well as a recognised leader in advanced road safety response/training,” Sven said. Mayor Ry Collins also reflected on the service, following the event. “For 75 years, generations of firefighters have answered the call when our community has needed them most,” he said. “Through cyclones, floods, grassfires, road crashes and countless emergencies, they have stood ready to protect lives and property across the Whitsundays. “What makes regional communities special is that the people who turn up in our toughest moments are often our neighbours, mates, work colleagues and fellow community members - even a few former shire Mayors! Their willingness to serve others deserves enormous respect.” MP for Whitsunday Amanda Camm highlighted the importance of acknowledging the support systems and families, as well as the firefighters in the service: “Today is a celebration and a recognition for all of those who have served our Proserpine community as an auxiliary firefighter, and also their families… but it’s also really important to take time to recognise the families who have also contributed in supporting their partners,” she said. She expressed her gratitude for the whole crew. “Their lives are disrupted in ways others don't understand- we thank them and congratulate them.”

Whitsunday communities have always been built on volunteers, local clubs, community groups and people willing to put their hand up to make a difference. Whether it’s a sporting club running weekend games, volunteers organising a community event, local artists creating opportunities for others, or service groups raising money for important causes — these organisations are the backbone of our region. That’s why Council continues to strongly support community organisations through grants, sponsorships, donations and in-kind assistance right across the Whitsundays. Every month Council provides support to dozens of local groups helping deliver events, programs and opportunities that directly benefit our communities. In May alone, Council approved support for organisations and initiatives across the region including the Whitsunday Songwriter Festival, Archaic Gathering Festival of Arts, Creative Connections Whitsunday, Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network, Bowen River Rodeo and Campdraft, local swimming clubs, campdraft associations, school P&C groups, arts organisations, community BBQs, sporting clubs and junior elite athletes. Importantly, this support reaches all corners of our Whitusnday region from Bowen to Collinsville, Proserpine, Airlie Beach, Cannonvale, Dingo Beach and Mt Coolon. Council’s Regional Arts Development Fund partnership with the Queensland Government is another important example, helping support local arts, culture and creative industries since 1994. These programs help create opportunities for regional artists while also strengthening local events and tourism experiences. But beyond the dollars themselves, what this support really represents is Council backing the people who help bring our communities to life. These groups create connection, strengthen community spirit, support local businesses, give young people opportunities, improve mental health outcomes and make the Whitsundays a better place to live. Council understands that many volunteer organisations are facing increasing costs and growing pressures, particularly in regional areas, which is why we remain committed to supporting community-led initiatives wherever possible. When local organisations succeed, our whole region benefits. I want to sincerely thank every volunteer, committee member, coach, organiser and community leader across the Whitsundays for the work you do behind the scenes every single week. You help make this region what it is.

Since opening its doors on 5 June 2012, the locally owned and operated branch has grown from a community vision into a vital part of the Whitsundays, delivering face-to-face banking services while returning hundreds of thousands of dollars to local schools, sporting clubs, community groups and events. Meet Kylie: Local Knowledge, Community Spirit and Banking That Gives Back For many locals walking into Bendigo Community Bank Cannonvale–Proserpine, there’s a familiar face ready to help — and chances are, Kylie already understands the Whitsundays lifestyle and community spirit that make the region so special. A proud fifth-generation local, Kylie has recently returned home after spending time living and working across Queensland, as well as overseas in England and Switzerland. But despite her travels, she says nothing compares to coming back to her roots. “I feel blessed to have grown up in such a beautiful part of the world,” Kylie said. “After living in different places, including overseas, nothing compares to being back in the Whitsundays raising my three children in this stunning paradise we call home.” Kylie brings extensive experience across home loans, business banking, insurance and everyday banking, helping customers navigate everything from simple transactions to major life decisions. Whether it’s buying a first home, refinancing, growing a business or reviewing insurance, she is passionate about finding the right solution for every customer. At Community Bank Cannonvale–Proserpine, banking is about relationships and Kylie says that personal connection is what she loves most about her role. “I love that our bank genuinely supports the local community,” she said. “It makes coming to work each day even more rewarding because we really do make a difference right here in our region.” Known for her approachable nature and strong local knowledge, Kylie prides herself on building long-term relationships and being someone customers can rely on. “When you bank with Kylie, you’re not just another number,” Branch Manager Amanda Anderson said. “She genuinely cares about helping people achieve their goals and making sure they feel supported every step of the way.” That community focus extends well beyond banking services. As part of Bendigo Community Bank Cannonvale–Proserpine, Kylie is backed by a unique community banking model that reinvests profits directly back into the Whitsundays through sponsorships, grants and support for local clubs, schools, and events. For Kylie, that local impact makes the role even more meaningful. “Supporting locals and seeing that flow-on effect in the community is something really special,” she said. The branch continues to find new ways to support and showcase the local community. One exciting new initiative is the launch of a Community Creative Space inside the branch, developed in partnership with Creative Connections Whitsundays. The space features a rotating exhibition of works from emerging and established local artists, giving them an opportunity to showcase and sell their work in a welcoming community setting. The inaugural artist, Desma Munro, is displaying expressive realist paintings inspired by Australia’s landscapes and colourful birdlife. Community support also extends to sponsorships and the branch’s popular Community BBQ Trailer, which is available for local events and fundraisers. Sponsorship applications are now open for local initiatives and community groups. “Every account, loan or service with us helps build a stronger local community,” Amanda said. Locals wanting friendly, face-to-face banking support can visit Kylie, Amanda and the team at Whitsunday Plaza Cannonvale, Monday to Friday, 9:30am–4:00pm (closed 1:00pm–2:00pm), call (07) 4948 3599 or email cannonvale&proserpinemailbox@bendigoadelaide.com.au

The Tiny Homes Project, a not-for-profit Whitsunday Housing Company, is making great strides on its mission to build 4 tiny homes for unhoused women aged 55 and over, with businesses and organisations from across the region pitching in with their support. In 2023, following a standup pitch to the full membership of the Whitsunday Regional Council, including the past Mayor, the Tiny Homes Project was selected and donated a block of land in Proserpine. Later, alongside volunteers gathering donations from the community, Fundraising Coordinator Sandy Clark set up meetings with major local building suppliers over a 10-day period, seeking complimentary or discounted products to support the build. “This was to be our final step to work within our budgets and to keep our costs as low as possible so that our donations would spread as far as possible for this worthy cause,” Sandy shared. “This was the last phase of our efforts to engender true community involvement and this time from the leading build suppliers in our region, our builder and COO of our charity, [the meetings] were most fruitful.” “On 17th November 2025 Stratco, Proserpine, came in to build the steel cyclone rated security fencing on our block,” Sandy shared. “On 2nd May we had some movement with heavy machinery on the site and preparation of the ground, and the stumps went in soon after. Thanks to Pilchers Cement for their generous sponsorship of all of our concrete.” “Around May 17th our sub-flooring went in, bollards, then trusses, thanks to Replas, Porters and Bowen Truss & Framing special pricing, and we were off to a good start. “Wowee, we couldn’t have done this without our many volunteers too, who we thank so sincerely - including massive support from Fiona Donnellan and Paula Wronski on fundraising efforts.” According to Sandy, the community has shown a huge amount of love for the women they are working to house. “No one can be certain about anything in life, and peoples' fortunes can change in a heartbeat,” Sandy shared. “There’s nothing worse than being on the streets and unsafe. The greatest, most valued gift is a home and this project has touched the hearts of the Whitsundays community, gaining a massive contribution from people with a heart for the vulnerable.” Head to the Tiny Homes project’s newly expanded website, developed in donated time from Kylie at Rabbit Warren Creative Services, and see the massive range of donors who leant their support to the project by scanning the QR code below.

The Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network hosted its monthly breakfast BBQ in Cannonvale last week. The morning featured guest speakers Ashlee Lade from EvoPrime Fitness and State Member Amanda Camm. Ashlee spoke on the importance of nutrition and diet. “The three most important principles for a healthy diet are protein, incorporating different types of nutrients and fasting,” she said. State Member Amanda Camm spoke on personal family mental health struggles, having lost her father to suicide. “Not only am I a state Member, I’m also the Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence,” she said. “I thought I’d take the opportunity to say it is everyone’s business. If you’ve got a mate you’re concerned about, we have support right here in the Whitsundays. We’ve got Whitsunday counselling service, we’ve got MensLine, and we’ve got incredible outreach across the community.” CEO Matt Stokes re-iterated the most important messages when it comes to supporting people through mental struggles. “Our message is simple. Suicide prevention is everyone’s job,” he said. “On a basic level – if you’re struggling, the best thing you can do is find a friend. The worst thing you can do is isolate. Encourage everyone to make sure they keep talking when they’re going through something.” The Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Breakfasts are hosted on the last Friday of every month at the Shirtfront Solutions Carpark at 6.30pm. All members of the community are welcome. If you are struggling or know someone who may be – don’t hesitate to call Lifeline on 13 11 14 right away. What? WSPN Breakfasts When?

Escape Jiu Jitsu has reported a strong rise in female participation since opening earlier this year. The Cannonvale-based gym has already attracted 14 women as adult members and 23 girls in its kids’ classes, a notable shift in a sport traditionally dominated by men. Head coach Bec Johns said seeing women and girls on the mats has been especially meaningful, reflecting a culture built on inclusion and support. Led by coaches Danny Johns and Phil Hamblin alongside Bec Johns, the gym has focused on creating a safe and welcoming environment for all ages and experience levels. The presence of a female coach has also helped encourage more women to step onto the mats for the first time. This momentum was also reflected at the gym’s inaugural tournament in March, which drew 57 female entrants from across North Queensland. Of those, 45 were girls and 12 were women, competing for 45 medals and a $300 cash prize. One of the youngest competitors has already collected 56 medals since beginning competition. Beyond competition, the growth of junior female participation is seen as an investment in the future of the sport in regional Queensland. Photo supplied

Last week nearly 80 students from Proserpine State High School, Bowen State High School, Whitsunday Christian College and St Catherine’s College came together for the annual ‘b kinder Summit, a gathering designed to empower young leaders across the region. The b kinder Summit was created to empower young leaders, and inspire them to spark thought, ignite passion, and encourage meaningful action within their schools and wider communities. Throughout the day, students were invited to reflect on the values of empathy, compassion, resilience and confidence, and how these qualities can be actively applied in everyday life. The summit challenged students to consider the real impact of kindness as a leadership tool. Participants left feeling not only inspired, but also equipped with practical ideas and a renewed purpose to foster positive change within their school environments. A key focus of the program was the role young people can play in shaping inclusive, supportive communities. By encouraging students to lead with empathy and courage, the Summit reinforced the idea that leadership is not defined by position, but by action and influence. The event featured presenter Adam Mostogl from Illuminate Education, alongside b kinder ambassador Tessa Jolley, who both delivered engaging and thought-provoking sessions that resonated strongly with attendees. We thank the b kinder Foundation for organising such an impactful opportunity for local students, and for continuing to invest in the development of compassionate, capable young leaders across the region. Students at local schools came together for the b kinder Summit, a national initiative where student leaders engage in interactive and collaborative learning. Photo source: Facebook

Key projects, funding support and future planning were front and centre at Whitsunday Regional Council’s fifth meeting of 2026, held this week in Bowen. Councillors tackled a broad agenda covering infrastructure, parking, community grants and operational updates, with several decisions aimed at improving liveability and supporting long-term growth across the region. One of the major items adopted was Council’s Quarter Three Operational Plan report, providing a snapshot of achievements, financial performance and progress toward delivering priorities outlined in the 2025/26 Operational Plan. The report highlighted the steady pace of work continuing across the region despite growing demands on local services and infrastructure. Future improvements for Bowen’s Yasso Point precinct also took a step forward, with councillors adopting the Yasso Point Concept Site Plan. The plan will help guide future capital works and broader precinct planning, with a focus on enhancing the area for residents and visitors alike. Parking and accessibility in busy commercial areas were another major discussion point. Council endorsed proposed amendments to Subordinate Local Law No. 5.1 (Parking) 2014, paving the way for a new commercial parking approach designed to improve turnover, accessibility and compliance outcomes across key business precincts. Residents were also reminded that water meter readings across the region will begin from June 15th, with Council encouraging property owners to ensure meters are accessible and free from obstructions. Several local organisations received a welcome funding boost through Council grants programs. Special Project Grants were awarded to Whitsunday Kyokushin Karate Proserpine Inc, Proserpine District Canegrowers Cooperative, Bowen Rugby Union Club Inc and Bowen Flexi Care Inc, while the Proserpine Junior Sporting Complex Association received a Sport and Recreation Facility Management Grant. Regional Arts Development Fund grants were also approved for the Whitsunday Songwriter Festival, Archaic Gathering Festival of Arts and Creative Connections Whitsunday, supporting the region’s growing arts and cultural sector. Councillors also received updates from Community Services and Utilities, outlining the ongoing behind-the-scenes work helping deliver essential services across the Whitsundays. Whitsunday Regional Council met in Bowen this week to discuss key projects, community funding, future planning initiatives and service updates shaping the region’s growth and development.

Creativity, connection and storytelling will take centre stage next month as Whitsunday seniors showcase a year’s worth of heartfelt textile artworks in a special community exhibition at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre. The exhibition, titled Stitch in Time, is the culmination of a series of creative workshops delivered through the Social Seniors Whitsundays project, an initiative of Whitsunday Regional Libraries aimed at reducing social isolation and encouraging community connection among older residents. Over the past 12 months, seniors from across the region have worked alongside local artists to create unique textile-based memory books and artworks inspired by important moments and personal stories from their lives. The collection features a diverse range of artistic techniques and formats, including hand-woven textiles, needle-felted storytelling pieces and imaginative hand-printed memory books, each reflecting the personality and experiences of its creator. Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor Ry Collins praised the program for the positive impact it is having within the community. “It’s all about combatting social isolation within our senior community,” Mayor Collins said. “The Social Seniors Whitsundays project and the Stitch in Time workshop series are offering our seniors the chance to share their stories, create community and become more socially active.” The free exhibition will provide visitors with the opportunity to meet the artists behind the works while enjoying light refreshments and exploring the deeply personal pieces on display. Organisers hope the exhibition not only celebrates creativity, but also highlights the importance of connection, inclusion and lifelong learning within the Whitsunday community. The Stitch in Time exhibition will be held on 12th June at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre and is open to all members of the public. Whitsunday seniors proudly showcase their handmade textile artworks and memory books created through the Social Seniors Whitsundays Stitch in Time workshop series. Photo source: Facebook

Community members gathered at Proserpine Entertainment Centre this week to mark National Reconciliation Week 2026 with unity, reflection and respect. Led by Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor Ry Collins, the event brought together local leaders, students, families and community members for a moving morning of cultural recognition and shared commitment to reconciliation. At the heart of the ceremony was a powerful Welcome to Country and Traditional Smoking Ceremony conducted by Robert Congoo from Yooribaya Cultural Experiences, alongside student representatives from local schools. The event also featured a ceremonial flag raising and student speakers, reinforcing the importance of education and community involvement in shaping a more united future. One of the morning’s standout moments came when Proserpine State High School’s Seagrass Theatre group performed a stirring rendition of Beds Are Burning, this year’s Voices for Reconciliation 2026 anthem. The iconic Midnight Oil song, with its enduring message of justice and recognition for First Nations peoples, resonated strongly with attendees and reflected the week’s central message: that reconciliation requires action from all Australians. This year’s National Reconciliation Week theme, All In, calls on Australians to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation every day, not just during a designated week of reflection. It is a reminder that reconciliation is not passive, nor is it solely the responsibility of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Rather, it requires collective participation, understanding and genuine commitment from communities across the country. The theme also acknowledges the ongoing work still required to advance the rights, voices and recognition of First Nations Australians. Reconciliation Australia describes All In as a challenge to move beyond symbolic gestures and into meaningful action, ensuring reconciliation becomes embedded in the nation’s culture, institutions and everyday relationships. National Reconciliation Week is observed annually from May 27th to June 3rd, commemorating two significant milestones in Australia’s reconciliation journey: the 1967 referendum and the 1992 Mabo decision. Together, these dates represent both progress achieved and the continuing journey toward equality and recognition. The visual identity for NRW 2026 was created by renowned Gumbaynggirr and Bundjalung artist Otis Hope Carey. His artwork, Gaagal — meaning “Ocean” — symbolises people from all walks of life moving together like flowing tides and rippling water, united in the pursuit of change and healing. In Proserpine, that message was brought to life not only through ceremony and song, but through the visible participation of young people, local leaders and residents standing side by side. As communities across the Whitsundays continue to embrace reconciliation, events like this demonstrate the power of coming together: listening, learning and committing to a shared future built on respect.

Women across the Whitsundays are being encouraged to take advantage of a free and potentially lifesaving health service as the BreastScreen Queensland mobile bus visits the region over the coming months. Currently stationed in Bowen until Friday, 12th June, the mobile screening service is helping women in rural and regional communities access breast cancer screening closer to home. Following its posting in Bowen, the service will then travel to Proserpine from 15th June to 15th July before arriving in Cannonvale from 16th July to 4th September. Breast screening appointments are free, take around 20 minutes, and do not require a doctor’s referral. Health professionals say regular screening is one of the most effective ways to detect breast cancer early — often before symptoms appear — significantly improving treatment outcomes and survival rates. Women aged 50 to 74 are strongly encouraged to have a breast screen every two years. Women are advised to see their doctor before making an appointment if they have noticed any changes to their breasts, are aged 40 to 49 or over 75, or if they have had breast cancer within the past five years. Health staff say preparing for an appointment is simple. Patients are asked not to wear deodorant or talcum powder on the day, as these products can affect the breast x-rays. Wearing a top with pants or a skirt is recommended so that the patient can remain comfortably dressed during the screening process. Patients are also encouraged to arrive 10 minutes early to complete paperwork and bring their Medicare card if they have one. During the appointment, the friendly staff will guide the patient through each step of the process. After completing consent forms and questionnaires, a trained radiographer will explain how the screening works before taking at least two x-rays of each breast. The machine presses the breast between two plates to capture clear images, which can feel uncomfortable but should not be painful. Patients can ask for the procedure to stop at any time if needed. Following the appointment, the x-rays are reviewed by specially trained doctors, with most patients receiving their results within four weeks. According to BreastScreen Queensland, around 95 out of every 100 women receive a normal result. About five women out of 100 are asked to return for follow-up tests, although most of these women are ultimately found not to have breast cancer. Community members are being encouraged to book an appointment for themselves or support a loved one to do the same. Bookings can be made by calling 13 20 50 or online through the BreastScreen Queensland website – just scan the QR code.

The Whitsunday Skyway Project has reached a crucial step in its progression following the announcement this week that it is now a Prescribed Project. This move will enable the exciting eco-tourism project to coordinate and streamline approvals. Stage One of the new attraction will feature a 1.8km cableway from Airlie Beach to the summit of Conway National Park, a luge-style ride, as well as dining and cultural experiences, special events facilities and bushwalking tracks. A second stage, including downhill mountain bike trails, is also planned and will be subject to a future feasibility review. The transformative tourism project is expected to create up to 390 direct and indirect jobs during construction and at least 80 direct and indirect operational jobs, significantly bolstering the Whitsunday regional economy and strengthening North Queensland’s position as a premier tourism destination. It is expected to attract over 250,000 visitors annually. Member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm said the project will showcase the region’s beauty. “This is game-changing eco-tourism infrastructure and innovation that positions Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays as the Heart of the Reef,” Minister Camm said. Australian Adventure Tourism Group Executive Chair Elizabeth Hackett said the declaration was a game-changer for the project. “Prescribed Project status is a major milestone for the Whitsunday Skyway, and we are incredibly grateful for the Queensland Government’s support,” Ms Hackett said. “This status gives us the assurance we need to continue working with our partners and stakeholders to deliver this transformative project." Once completed, the Whitsunday Skyway will contribute to Queensland’s reputation as a world-class tourism destination, offering visitors an unforgettable experience of the region’s natural wonders. Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning Jarrod Bleijie said the declaration reflected the Crisafulli Government’s commitment to supporting transformative projects for Queensland. “This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to showcase the natural beauty of the Whitsundays in an innovative way, Deputy Premier Bleijie said. “Declaring the Whitsunday Skyway Project as a Prescribed Project is a clear message to the people of Queensland that we are serious about delivering infrastructure that creates jobs and drives economic growth. “By streamlining approvals, we’re helping the consortium get shovels in the ground sooner, creating real jobs for Queenslanders and delivering a world-class attraction that will draw visitors from around the globe.” Minister for Environment and Tourism Andrew Powell said the proposed Whitsunday Skyway was a bold new tourism investment. “When we launched Destination 2045, we said Queensland needed more world-class experiences that give people another reason to visit our State, stay longer and explore more of our regions,” Minister Powell said. “That’s why the Whitsunday Skyway was identified as one of the first 45X45 projects because it has the potential to become an iconic new experience in one of Queensland’s most spectacular destinations.” Tourism Whitsunday CEO Tim Booth, Member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm MP and Whitsunday Mayor Ry Collins.

When life takes a turn for the worse for the people who you care about, your first thought is “how can I help?”. This is exactly what happened to the close-knit team at Whitsunday Escape on hearing the news that four-year-old Lucy Scarrott – sister to two-year-old Ella, and daughter to well- known Whitsunday boating community members, Cat and Andy Scarrott – has been diagnosed with medulloblastoma – an aggressive form of brain cancer. Determined to make a difference in these darkest of times, and with the support of one of their long-term investors, the bareboat company has launched a raffle for a five-night charter on a brand-new luxury boat. Sailed fresh from the factory in Asia to the Whitsunday Escape base at the Coral Sea Marina in Airlie Beach, by owners Geoff St Clair and Kim Mitchell, Sidetracked breezed through headwinds and sea states that would have literally stopped other boats in their tracks. Under normal circumstances Sidetracked would be set straight to work in the Whitsunday Escape fleet where Mr St Clair is a repeat investor, but on this occasion her first ‘charter’ is to raise money for the Scarrott family. “Lucy’s parents Cat and Andy are dear friends of the Whitsunday Escape family and their whole world has been turned upside down by a heartbreaking diagnosis no parent should have to face,” Whitsunday Escape Managing Director, Jaclyn Watson, said. “Both parents have had to give up their jobs and relocate to Brisbane so that Lucy – who has already undergone major brain surgery at the Queensland Children’s Hospital and now faces months of intensive radiation and chemotherapy – can receive daily treatment for an entire year in a fight to survive. “We may not be able to wave a magic wand and make Lucy’s diagnosis disappear, but one thing we can do, thanks to Geoff and Kim’s generosity, is take some of the immense financial pressure off, so that they can focus on what matters most, which is being together and supporting Lucy through this battle”. Winning the holiday of a lifetime, sailing the Whitsundays aboard Sidetracked, and being a part of Lucy’s support team, is as simple as buying a ticket through Raffletix, where proceeds will be administered to the Scarrott family via the Proserpine Lions Club. Only 1,000 tickets are available at a cost of just $50 each, with the winner set to sail away on a charter worth $11,000, and priceless in terms of the experiences it will deliver that money simply cannot buy. The raffle runs from today until 10.30am on July 31st. To purchase tickets, go to https://www.raffletix.com.au/whitsundayescape2026 or follow the links on Whitsunday Escape’s Facebook and Instagram accounts.

A simple act of kindness from local resident Danica Mitchell ensured two adventurous dogs were safely reunited with their family after wandering through the Abel Road and Springfield Circuit area earlier this week. The pair of “escape artists” were first spotted following a woman out on a run, seemingly determined to join her exercise route rather than head home. After attempting to locate the dogs’ owners by running up and down the street several times, the runner was unable to find where the dogs belonged. Concerned for their safety on the busy road and noticing the dogs were becoming hot and tired, Danica stepped in to help. She brought the dogs into her backyard, where they were given water, shade and supervision while efforts were made to locate their owners through social media. Thankfully, the story had a happy ending, with the dogs’ family later arriving to collect them safely. The incident serves as a reminder of the strong community spirit that exists throughout the region, with locals always willing to lend a hand — or in this case, a safe backyard — when needed.
