Works program on track with $12M worth of projects under way

Council’s 2015/2016 capital works program is on target, with more than $12.1 million worth of projects now under way.

Council recently completed the Tewantin splash park renewal, the final stage of Daintree estate’s major flood mitigation works, Ben Lexcen Drive stormwater pipe relining and two public jetty repair projects.

Work has also started on the Munna Point bridge rehabilitation, Pomona’s Rifle Street flood mitigation works, a shire-wide road reseal program, Sunrise Beach school crossing improvements and a $5 million upgrade of Dr Pages Road and part of Kinmond Creek Road.

Noosa Council Planning and Infrastructure Director Martin Drydale said Council hoped to complete the Dr Pages Road upgrade in April 2016.

“We’re on track to have the majority of projects well under way, if not nearing completion, by the second and third quarters of this financial year, leaving the final quarter for final completion work and planning for next year’s capital program,” Mr Drydale said.

“We’re currently 44% of the way through our $27.4 million capital works program, which is where we planned to be by now, and tracking well.”
