November 14, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett Regional Council will spend $1.25 million to upgrade six streets in Tingoora in an effort to ease drainage problems experienced by many residents.<\/p>\n

But unless it can secure grant funding for the project, work may not be able to start until midway next year.<\/p>\n

Tingoora’s problems first came to public attention in July this year when a petition signed by 126 residents called on the Council to fix long-standing drainage problems affecting several roads in the village.<\/p>\n

Residents said run-off from even minimal rain events was causing significant damage to properties, and raising safety concerrns.<\/p>\n

In one case, they said, an ambulance had been unable to access a Tingoora property in an emergency due to heavy run-off after rain.<\/p>\n

After receiving the petition, Councillors voted to ask staff to scope the project and report back to September’s Infrastructure Standing Committee about the cost of upgrading the worst affected roads: Muller Street, Magnussens Drive, Hill Street and Home Street.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In September, Councillors were told Tingoora’s roads were currently built to a rural road standard.<\/p>\n

Officers said upgrading to sealed urban standard kerb and channel meant that five of the roads would need to be widened to a minimum six metres to allow for proper drainage and two-way vehicle movements, and Magnussen’s Drive would need to be widened to eight metres.<\/p>\n

Officers estimated the project would cost $1.25 million in total.<\/p>\n

They also noted they would have to include Gibson Street and a portion of Philips Street in the work, partly to allow for proper kerb and channel alignments between the other streets, and partly to account for a ridge that bisects the town.<\/p>\n

Given the high cost, Councillors then asked staff to look at staging the project and bring a further report back to November’s Infrastructure standing committee.<\/p>\n

At that meeting, officers recommended the project be split into two stages.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first stage would tackle Muller Street and Magnussen’s Drive to improve the areas most prone to scouring at an estimated cost of $612,500.<\/p>\n

The second stage would tackle the remaining four streets at an estimated cost of $637,500.<\/p>\n

However, because this year’s capital works budget has already been set, Councillors voted to include the project in a future capital works program.<\/p>\n

Council officers will now attempt to obtain grant funding to cover the cost.<\/p>\n

If they are unsuccessful, then work may not be able to start on the first stage until midway through next year after Council hands down its 2023-24 Budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
