completed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>September 1, 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The South Burnett Regional Council confirmed on Thursday that infrastructure servicing Memerambi Estate residential lots fronting the Bunya Highway reached practical completion last week.<\/p>\n<p>The works, which were undertaken by Newlands Civil Construction Pty Ltd, involved earthworks, road construction and sealing, and installation of stormwater drainage.<\/p>\n<p>Newlands also built a stormwater detention basin and diversion drain to control water run-off from the estate, along with sediment control devices, turfing and surface reestablishment.<\/p>\n<p>The new stormwater system will put an end to long-standing drainage issues that have caused problems for some Memerambi residents since the Estate was built.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of the work has been paid as part of a $2 million loan from Queensland Treasury taken out by the Council to build infrastructure that the Estate&#8217;s developer Summit View Meritor failed to install before the company was put into liquidation in September 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Property owners on Memerambi Estate will repay their share of the loan as a surcharge on their rates over the next 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>The Council expressed its thanks to Memerambi residents for their patience while the work of normalising the Estate was carried out.<\/p>\n<figure
