Council, together with Mackay Isaac Tourism and Wayfound, is developing a Tourism Wayfinding and Signage Strategy to improve how visitors navigate and experience the region. This work will guide future signage planning and ensure a consistent, safe and welcoming visitor experience across the Mackay region.

Tourism signage plays a vital role in influencing whether travellers stop, explore or simply pass through a destination. A strong, consistent signage system means:

✔ Confident, relaxed visitors.
✔ More time spent in the region.
✔ Increased support for local businesses.
✔ Stronger regional identity.

The region’s signage varies in clarity and condition, and improvements are needed to align with Queensland and national tourism signage guidelines.

The strategy aims to:

  • Improve visitor awareness of attractions, experiences and services.
  • Ensure signage supports safe and enjoyable visitor journeys.
  • Provide a coordinated framework for future signage planning.
  • Strengthen recognition of the Mackay Isaac Region tourism brand.
