Have your say on the Whitsunday Way (Proserpine-Shute Harbour Road)
What is the Consultation About?
The consultation process involves working with the community and stakeholders of the broader Whitsunday area to identify issues of concern and develop an agreed approach for the future of the Whitsunday Way (Proserpine-Shute Harbour Road). As a result of extensive community consultation undertaken from 2007 to 2009, a vision for the Whitsunday Way has been developed. The vision incorporates the aspirations of the community, stakeholders and others with an interest in the future of the road.
The vision for the road addresses the current and future transport functions of the road, including all aspects of traffic management, pedestrian and vehicle use and safety. At the same time it addresses the visual appearance of the road, its aesthetic and design characteristics and its unique potential to reflect the ambience and amenity of the Whitsundays to road users, visitors and the community.
The Project Advisory Committee (PAC)
A Project Advisory Committee was established in 2007 to help support the community consultation process. The PAC includes people from:
- Department of Transport and Main Roads;
- Department of Infrastructure and Planning;
- Residents Traffic Action;
- Tourism Whitsundays;
- Enterprise Whitsundays;
- Whitsunday Regional Council; and
- Individuals from the community
The Whitsunday Way PAC provides:
- Advice on the development and implementation of community consultation processes; and
- Advice and assistance to organisations undertaking works or planning for future works in or near the Whitsunday Way.
You do not need to be a member of the PAC to provide input to the future of the Whitsunday Way. Members of the public can provide input via telephone, email or via this internet site (see details below).

What is the Scope of the Project?The Proserpine-Shute Harbour Road includes approximately 35km of road and links the town of Proserpine with the coastal towns of Cannonvale, Airlie Beach and Shute Harbour. It is the major arterial road for transport of goods and services as well as residents and visitors to these areas as well as to the adjacent Whitsunday Islands. How is the Consultation Process Undertaken?The intial consultation process involved several phases:
|
|
- Negotiating a shared vision (Phase 2)
(February 2008 to March 2008)
Based on a report of the consultation process and outcomes from the first phase, this phase focussed on the negotiation and development of a shared vision for the road. The negotiated vision for the road is available for download below. - Ongoing community input to decisions and planning for the Whitsunday Way (Phase 3)
(from July 2008 to present)
The objective of this phase of the project is for the Whitsunday Way PAC to champion the implementation of the Whitsunday Way Vision and to continue to identify key issues and then negotiate agreed treatments for the road. This may include for example negotiating whether traffic lights or roundabouts should be developed at specific intersections or alternate landscaping or pedestrian use of specific sections of the road.
A Future Vision For Whitsunday Way
The Whitsunday Way will be a safe and efficient road which forms an attractive and welcoming entry statement to the Whitsundays.
The vision has been developed by the Whitsunday community to guide future planning and upgrades of the Whitsunday Way (Proserpine - Shute Harbour Road) from 2008 to 2028.
