Repairs to Cape Tribulation Road in the Alexandra Range region will be finished by May if all goes to plan.

All up, 26 different sections of the Douglas Shire Council road were damaged more than a year ago by Cyclone Jasper and the subsequent rain which wreaked havoc on our region, but 21 of those spots have now been repaired.

A council spokesperson said this week the aim was to complete repairs to sites 3b, 5, 6, 7 and 8 (see attached map below for details) by May.

Mayor Lisa Scomazzon said the progress made so far was a “tremendous achievement”.

“It's even more impressive considering it's being done alongside other roadworks, as well as navigating difficult terrain and managing weather-related delays, our teams have shown remarkable resilience and dedication,” Mayor Scomazzon said.

“The completion of these works ensures safer and more reliable access for residents and visitors alike, supports local businesses, and enhances emergency response capabilities.”
