More than $7 million will be spent fixing dozens of unsealed roads damaged in last year’s flooding events across the Douglas Shire.
Council is pleased to announce it has awarded two contracts for post Cyclone Jasper Recovery Works; MC Group has been awarded Unsealed Roads Package 1 South of Daintree for $2,950,619 and Gulf Civil Pty Ltd has been awarded Unsealed Roads Package 2 Daintree to Cape Tribulation for $4,325,344.
The works being funded jointly by the Australian and Queensland Governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
Douglas Shire Mayor Lisa Scomazzon said the projects would vary in complexity.
“There are some unsealed roads where significant sections of the surface were damaged, whereas other roads contain only small areas to be repaired. This is about reconnecting our community and restoring our road network after the devastating events of December last year,” she said.
Council has been approved funding for different sections of numerous roads and the two local contractors will complete the approved works. Repairs are on track to be completed by the end of the year, weather dependent.
