Several assets have been identified as requiring upgrade or repair to prevent water infiltration into the sewer network.    

Works are part of Council’s continuous focus on infrastructure improvements and will involve relining or refurbishment works of sewer manholes in areas of Calliope, Boyne Island and Gladstone. 

This project follows routine inspection of sewer manholes throughout the region and the development of a prioritised works program.     

Access to properties will only be required when entry is necessary to access Council’s sewer main assets, complete the works, or for service junction repair and connection to the new sewer pipe. Entry to properties will be made in accordance with Part 2, Section 144 of Local Government Act 2009.
