The Burdekin Shire Council’s Capital Works Program is enhancing infrastructure across the Burdekin region, encompassing various completed and ongoing projects, showing an ongoing commitment to strategic investment in new assets, existing asset renewals and upgrades.
These ongoing initiatives are consistent with the strategic objectives identified in the 2022-2027 Corporate Plan, said Burdekin Shire Council Mayor Lyn McLaughlin, and Council is taking strides and making progress towards the envisioned goals through both new and upgraded infrastructure.
Ms McLaughlin said Council has completed a number of projects this year including the Kirknie Landfill production bore, pump and header tank, Garrone Road restoration, Jacks Road extension in Brandon, emergency generators at Home Hill and Brandon sewage pump stations, sewage pump upgrades and replacements, water valve and hydrant replacements and the urban resealing works program.
“In a stride towards improved connectivity and safety, the Barratta Road reconstruction project has recently been completed,” she added.
“The final bitumen seal was applied on Tuesday 26 September enhancing the road’s overall safety, connectivity and drainage.
“The road is now fully reopened to traffic, ensuring a smoother and more secure travel experience for the residents and visitors.
“The new street seat, bin and planter combinations in the Home Hill CBD not only beautify the region but also support local businesses through the manufacture of the new furniture locally.
“The construction of the Burdekin Be-Active Trail in Home Hill is progressing well, aligning with our vision of promoting active living within our community.
“This trail will encourage residents to lead healthier lives by providing safe pedestrian pathways.
“We urge motorists to exercise caution and follow signage, ensuring the safety of all during the works.
“The Ayr Industrial Estate expansion is progressing well with the fill soil being transported from the Macro Algae Facility where the soil was used for pre-loading.
“The strategic reuse not only minimises costs but also ensures flood immunity for the new subdivision at the Ayr Industrial Estate.”
The Burdekin Shire Council thanked the community for its continued support and patience during these vital projects, saying these initiatives are pivotal to the growth and prosperity of the region, creating safer, more attractive spaces for residents and visitors.
Burdekin Shire Council continues the Capital Works Program to enhance infrastructure in the region.
