William Street road repairs to start next month

Council will begin repairs to Noosaville’s William Street next month.

The project will fix subsidence that followed a severe weather event and replace the damaged roadway and footpath with a new shared zone.

Noosa Council Infrastructure Planning and Design Manager Nick Wellwood said Council was in the final stages of appointing a contractor after tenders closed in February.

“All going well we intend to commence work in early April,” Mr Wellwood said.

He thanked residents for their patience while Council called for tenders and sought approval from several state government agencies to proceed with the work, which includes repairs to the Noosa River revetment wall.

“As the road and footpath are beside Noosa River we’re working with the state on the project.

Each of the agencies with an interest in the project has given us the go-ahead and we look forward to appointing a contractor to start construction and repair work in the next few weeks.

“There will be some traffic diversions in place and we will work with residents to minimise those impacts,” Mr Wellwood said.
