Flood recovery works at Bowenville
The first of two delivery partners, Georgiou Group, has broken ground on Newton-Stephen Road at Bowenville to kick off the delivery of Flood Recovery repairs.
Georgiou Group was appointed in July, alongside Golding Contractors, to support the Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) Construction and Maintenance Team, which has been delivering permanent Flood Recovery repairs since September.
TRC Infrastructure Committee Chair Cr Carol Taylor said it was great to see Council’s Flood Recovery Program reach this milestone.
“Especially seeing first-hand the amount of work that has gone into securing the funding for these repairs and finding the right partners to assist in delivering these essential works,” she said.
“Council’s Construction and Maintenance teams have been working hard and doing a great job to repair our road network since the Region was impacted by flooding between late 2021 and mid-2022.
“With such a large works program, the commencement of Georgiou Group in the Region’s north is a welcome announcement as Council works towards the delivery of the full Flood Recovery Program by late 2024, weather permitting.”
Georgiou is expected to focus on Bowenville, Formartin and the surrounding areas as it works across the Region’s north to deliver its portion of the Flood Recovery Program.
Council says it’s encouraging residents and road users to continue to be vigilant around road works and changed road conditions, paying particular attention to the direction of traffic management personnel and signage.
