A scenic thoroughfare in the Gladstone region is set for a facelift after the Gladstone Regional Council successfully obtained funding.
GRC secured $980,000 in Works for Queensland funding to conduct road resurfacing along Captain Cook Drive, from Agnes Water to Seventeen Seventy.
The resurfacing work started this week and will be carried out between 52 Captain Cook Drive and the Agnes Water Waste Transfer Station, with expected completion 30 May 2021.
The project includes repair, renewal and upgrade of existing road surfaces which provide access to residential, business and commercial networks and infrastructure.
Work will be carried out from Monday to Friday, 6am-6pm, weather permitting.
Mirani MP Stephen Andrew has appealed to the deputy premier to step in to fix the âlong overdueâ upgrades to Brewers Park in Sarina.
During days of extreme rain, the sporting precinct turns into a lake due to outdated drainage.
Junior teams using the park do not have change rooms and are forced to make do with dilapidated facilities and toilet blocks.
In a question on notice to Queensland Parliament, Mr Andrew urged Deputy Premier Steven Miles to call on the council to prioritise the park upgrades through Works for Queensland funding.
âWhile I can confirm park upgrades are eligible projects under the 2021-24 Works for Queensland Program, it is up to individual councils to develop and submit their list of projects for approval,â Mr Miles responded.
