Opposition Leader and Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington has again urged the State Government to do urgent upgrades to the\u00a0Maidenwell-Bunya Mountains Road, saying the current works are “nowhere near enough” to make the road safe.<\/p>\n

“There are many State Government managed roads around the South Burnett which need urgent upgrades,” Mrs Frecklington said.<\/p>\n

“I know that many local residents would agree with me that one of the most desperate is the Maidenwell-Bunya Mountains Road.<\/p>\n

“(It) is the main connector to the popular Bunya Mountains, yet it remains a dangerous road.<\/p>\n

“I have been fighting to have this road fixed for many years and we are finally seeing a small amount of funding assigned to clearing the sides of the roads and the installation of some signage.<\/p>\n

“These works are scheduled to start soon.<\/p>\n

“But this is nowhere near enough to make this road safe.<\/p>\n

“There is a lengthy unsealed section, dangerous corners and near misses on this road each and every day.<\/p>\n

“I understand the importance of roads like the Maidenwell-Bunya Mountains Road, but this city-centric Palaszczuk Labor Government wouldn\u2019t even know it exists.”<\/p>\n
