June road and drainage update

Throughout June a number of significant road and drainage works across the Bundaberg Region neared completion, including a number of Black Spot Program improvements.

The Birthamba Road stage 2 Black Spot curve improvement project reached 95% completion with the line marking rejuvenation taking place, while civil works for the Johanna Boulevard/Commercial Street Black Spot Program have been completed.

Work on two other local Black Spot Programs also continued in June including Commercial/Production Streets and the Targo/Burnett Streets project at reaching 70% completion.

The Black Spot Program is an Australian Government funded initiative that provides funding for low-cost, high-benefit improvements on the road network to address actual or potential crashes that lead to high severity outcomes (fatalities and hospitalisations).

Bundaberg Regional Council nominated four projects, based on crash data for the most recent five-year period, for inclusion in the 2023/2024 Black Spot Program.

Other major work taking place in June included the sub-grade treatment at Croft Street Bargara with the project 30% complete and the Cockatoo Court Woodgate drainage improvement work fully completed in June.
