In the local community, Council’s Works Department plays a vital role in keeping our roads safe and accessible.
Did you know that Council maintains an extensive network of roads?
Council takes care of an impressive 1,146 kilometres of roads. That's like driving from Sydney to Melbourne. Out of this extensive road network, a significant 738 kilometres are sealed, which equates to 64.4% of the total road length. While sealed roads make up the majority, there are 408 kilometres of unsealed roads in our region.
In the 2023/24 Budget Council committed to $3 million towards road maintenance. Maintaining such a vast network of roads is no small feat. Council employees undertake regular defect inspections and prioritise work to ensure that our roads are safe to drive on. Road safety is a top priority, with regular inspections and upgrades to road signage, traffic signals and pedestrian crossings.
To help maintain and improve our road network, you can report any road issues you encounter. It's important to keep in mind that a designated officer will assess and evaluate each request according to intervention criteria.
If you notice potholes, damaged signs, or other concerns, phone Council’s Customer Service Centre on 4783 9800 or visit Burdekin.qld.gov.au.
