Livingstone Shire Council has decided to go ahead with a large town entry sign for Marlborough during another meeting that went for nearly two hours.
The small town 106km north of Rockhampton sits just off the Bruce Highway and is one of the only tiny towns north towards Mackay, and the signs are aimed at getting people to stop there.
They will be funded with part of a $140,000 Works for Queensland Grant, with $40,000 allocated towards welcome signage and $100,000 for placemaking in the town.
But $56,000 already spent on the sheet metal and design would have gone to waste if the council voted to scrap the entry signs.

Livingstone Shire Council will apply to the Federal Court of Australia to be a participant in a native title proceeding.
Traditional Owners of the Keppel islands, the Woppaburra People, are currently working with the State on extending their native title claim and are currently having the case heard in court.
Livingstone property officer Christine MacDonald told the council’s ordinary meeting on April 20 that legal advice from Marrawah Law Pty Ltd stated a court application would need to be made if the council wanted to be a part of the proceedings.
“On that basis, our recommendation is that council resolve to make an application to join the proceeding,” Ms MacDonald said.
