Mapping strategy could fast-track North West industry

Tourists and local travellers rely on state government websites for road closure information, so when a spring opens up on the Kennedy Developmental Road north of Hughenden, forcing its closure, motorists can make alternative travel arrangements. However, while the councils are quick to inform the public of roads re-opening, the government can take weeks to update their websites, which is impacting the tourism industry, especially in the Gulf.
