December 8, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

The “missing link” in a key back road linking Blackbutt to Crows Nest was officially opened in a small ceremony at Googa Creek on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

South Burnett and Toowoomba councillors gathered together at the Googa Outdoor Education Centre to unveil a plaque marking the sealing of the last 5.7km section of Nukku Road.<\/p>\n

The $6 million project was a combined effort by three levels of government, with funding from the Federal Government’s Roads to Recovery Program as well as the State Government’s Transport Infrastructure Development Scheme.<\/p>\n

The missing link has been upgraded to a two-lane bitumen seal.<\/p>\n

Cr Carol Taylor said the completion of the project was a great win for residents and travellers in the northern part of the Toowoomba Region and southern part of the South Burnett Regional Council area.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a unique project in that the Nukku Road missing link has joined the TRC and SBRC Council areas finally with this last section now sealed,” Cr Taylor said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project ensures there is now a fully sealed road in a more direct alignment between Crows Nest and Blackbutt.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m delighted all three levels of government were able to come together to contribute to this project, which has now reached practical completion.”<\/p>\n

Cr Taylor thanked local residents for their patience as the work was completed as well as Council crews who undertook the works.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would particularly like to acknowledge Foreman of Construction (C&M North) Raymond White who will retire from Council after 25 years of service at the completion of this final project of his career. The Nukku Road project is a great legacy,\u201d Cr Taylor said.<\/p>\n

Acting Mayor Gavin Jones and councillors Kirstie Schumacher and Scott Henschen represented the South Burnett Regional Council at the opening ceremony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
