Blackbutt CBD Streetscape and Footpath Upgrade
South Burnett Regional Council is proud to announce the commencement of the Blackbutt CBD Streetscape and Footpath Upgrade with works commencing Wednesday 16 February 2022.
This project has been funded under the Federal Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program and South Burnett Regional Council Capital Works Program for 2021-2022.
The project will deliver revitalisation to the Blackbutt CBD precinct with new infrastructure including kerb and channel, textured and coloured footpath areas, bike racks, pedestrian seating, landscaping, and trees, with reflections of the Blackbutt town heritage and connection to the timber industries.
The first zone of works commencing will be at the intersection of Muir Street and Coulson Street with works progressing along Coulson Street toward the frontage of Les Muller Park in coming weeks. Please refer to attached diagram for further information.
Construction activity will create noise from machinery and equipment, some restrictions to vehicle parking and pedestrian access for public safety, however these impacts will be limited and allow continual business access as construction progresses along Coulson Street.
Site works and construction activity will be performed Monday to Friday – 6:30am – 5:00pm and Saturday – 7:00am - 5:00pm, with the project expecting to be completed by June 2022.
For further information regarding the project, please contact Council’s Infrastructure team on (07) 4189 9100 or email info@sbrc.qld.gov.au.
