Excavation work currently being undertaken in Kingaroy’s Memorial Park is to repair flood damage and better prepare the area for any future inundation.<\/p>\n

A South Burnett Regional Council spokesman told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> that the vertical walls along the sides of the drain had been damaged in the January floods.<\/p>\n

A reader last week submitted photographs of the cracked walls which had collapsed into part of the the drain.<\/p>\n

The Council spokesman said the vertical walls would be replaced by walls with a more sloping angle.<\/p>\n

This should also increase the capacity of the drains to carry away heavy water flows.<\/p>\n

Truckloads of soil were being removed from the area at the weekend.<\/p>\n

The work is expected to take about a fortnight to finish.<\/p>\n
