Alexandra Street Stage 3 works completed
Residents can now enjoy a better driving experience with fewer delays along Alexandra Street now that the third and final stage of reconstruction works have been completed.
The reconstruction works, which were carried out in three phases, finished at the end of February.
Rockhampton Region Mayor Tony Williams said the works have significantly improved the road which was well and truly in need of repairs, and now means less maintenance in the long term, which means less disruptions for motorists.
“We have done a lot of work on Alexandra Street over the last few years to bring it up to the high standard that is needed for a highly-trafficked road such as this one,” Mayor Williams said.
The report also states council are looking at opportunities to secure the township’s water supply security.
Opportunities include new water storages constructed, pipelines to augment supply to Mount Morgan, making safe use of the abundant water supply in the mine pit and the potential for a pumped hydro-electric scheme.
Consultation with the Mount Morgan community on these options is expected to commence within the next couple of months.
The Mount Morgan community has been congratulated on their continued waterwise behaviour with average annual residential water usage per property in Mount Morgan almost 50 per cent lower than that in Rockhampton in recent years.
