The project will upgrade existing road surfaces that provide access to residential, business and commercial premises.

Works will occur along sections of six streets in and near the Gladstone CBD area, with works expected to be completed by early December 2021, weather permitting.

Upcoming asphalt resurfacing will occur along:

• Railway Street (Glenlyon Street to Bayne Street)
• Scenery Street – Two sections (Kent Street to Railway Street) (Tank Street to Fisher Street)
• Short Street – Two sections (Toolooa Street to Auckland Street) (Auckland Street to Oaka Street)
• William Street – Two sections (Auckland Street to Goondoon Street) (Goondoon Street to Glenlyon Road)
• Yarroon St (Auckland Street to Glenlyon Road)
• Goondoon St (Tank Street roundabout to Eden Street – these works will require closing of the roundabout).

Gladstone Region Councillor Chris Trevor said the project would resurface about 2.8km of road using approximately 3000t of asphalt.

“These upcoming works will renew priority road areas within the Gladstone CBD,” Councillor Trevor said.

“In areas affected by daily high traffic volumes – particularly along Goondoon Street, William Street and Yarroon Street – night works will be considered to minimise disruptions to nearby businesses and the community.

“Council is mindful of completing these works with as minimal disruption as practical to surrounding residents, businesses, road users and pedestrians.”

Cr Trevor said Council had notified nearby residents and business prior to the commencement of works, with electronic message boards to also be placed in specific areas before works begin.

“Traffic management will be in place in these work areas and motorists are advised to drive carefully and adhere to any changed road conditions and speed limits,” he said.

This project has received $1.11m in funding from Federal Government’s Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications’ Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program (LRCIP) and are a part of a broader $6m road resurfacing works package secured by Council.
