Rail Trail repairs to commence
Following significant damage caused by flooding to the Rail Trail over recent months, Council has now authorised temporary repairs.
Multiple damage occurred to sections of the rail trail, between Wondai and Murgon and to the Goomeri boundary, which are currently still closed.
Following a recent quotation process, a local contractor has been appointed to conduct repairs between Murgon and the Goomeri boundary, with this section sustaining serious damage.
Works will commence immediately with estimated completion by the end of the month, subject to further rain delays.
Repairs to other sections between Wondai and Murgon are to be conducted by Council work crews. Such works have commenced and will be completed by the end of the month.
Once all work is completed, the South Burnett section of the KKRT Rail Trail will fully reopen, with caution to be observed by all users.
Permanent repairs will be conducted at a future date, subject to budget allocation and following investigations into available funding.
Temporary repairs are being paid for by Council, with other projects being delayed based on priority and community expectations.
Further updates and re-opening dates of the Rail Trail will be provided.
