Temporary Road Closure - Morris Street, Blackbutt - Sealed Pavement, K

Published on 05 August 2025

South Burnett Regional Council advises that a temporary road closure of the unsealed section of Morris Street, Blackbutt is planned to commence the week of Monday 11 August 2025, weather and machinery permitting. Access for residents will be managed through the work zone.

There will be some closure to vehicle access to properties for a few days, for construction of new kerb and channel and associated earthworks. Site staff will liaise with individual residents on the timing of vehicle access closures. Anticipated duration of construction is six (6) weeks, weather and machinery permitting.

This closure is to facilitate road construction work. This project will replace the existing unsealed pavement in Morris Street, including the connection to Miller Street, with a sealed pavement and kerb and channel.

To assist with safety, temporary signage and traffic control staff will be in place to assist traffic around the work area.

Construction activity will create noise from machinery and equipment and there may be some restrictions to vehicle parking and pedestrian access for public safety, however these impacts will be limited.

Site works and construction activity will take place Monday to Friday 6:30am – 5:00pm.

This project is proudly funded under the Queensland Government’s Works for Queensland program.  The Morris Street works are a component of the Parking and Roads Construction and Upgrades project, which received $2 million in funding through the 2024-27 Works for Queensland Program.
