The Home Hill Comfort Stop is set to receive a makeover as part of Burdekin Shire Council's commitment to enhancing the amenity and attractiveness of the popular rest area.
A total of $105,000 has been allocated to refresh the paved areas and replace the ageing picnic furniture and mosaic at the site.
Council's Chief Executive Officer Terry Brennan said that the Home Hill Comfort Stop is a valuable asset for the community and visitors and is so popular with visitors to the shire that regular refurbishments are required to keep the facility as a sought-after tourist stop.
“The refurbishment will see the installation of new concrete pavers, grinding and texture coating of the existing concrete and an update of the picnic tables and seating,” Mr Brennan said.
“The upgrade will also create a new water feature to replace the existing mosaic.”
Mr Brennan said the works have commenced and are scheduled to be completed by March.
"The Home Hill Comfort Stop is a well-known and well-used facility that provides a welcome break for locals and travellers,” he said.
“It showcases the history and culture of our region and offers a range of services and amenities.
“We want to ensure that it continues to be a comfortable place for everyone to enjoy.
"We appreciate the patience and understanding of the public while we carry out these works.
“Council officers will do their utmost to minimise any disruptions and keep the facility open as much as safely possible during this time."
