Spiegelhauer Road receives major upgrade
An unsealed road that leads to iconic Townsville locations such as Crystal Creek and Paluma Dam has been upgraded.
The Spiegelhauer Road upgrade has received two rounds of funding under the Australian Government’s Black Spot program totalling $1.07 million.
Stage one received $390,685 and involved sealing more than 400 metres of unsealed road and the installation of guard rails.
Stage two received a further $659,500, which allowed for a road realignment, sealing of a further 800 metres of the road, the installation of warning signage and more guard rails.
Townsville City Council Infrastructure Services Committee chairperson Kurt Rehbein said Spiegelhauer Road had been identified as a location for Black Spot funding due to several crashes with tourists who were unfamiliar with the conditions or lacked experience in wet conditions.

BRISBANE, June 23 Australia said yesterday it will strongly oppose a Unesco plan to list the Great Barrier Reef as being “in danger” over deterioration caused by climate change.
The UN body released a draft report on Monday recommending the reef’s World Heritage status be downgraded because of its dramatic coral decline, after years of public threats to do so.
