This project is a joint initiative of Hinchinbrook Shire Council and the Queensland Government.
Council, together with the support of the Queensland Government, has recently completed the procurement and installation of fast flowing water signage at designated locations which are subject to fast rising water. Council commenced this project in January 2017, and it was completed in October 2017.
The project was estimated to cost $49,450, with 50% of the total funded by Council and 50% funded by the Queensland Government’s Department of Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning. The Queensland Government funding falls under the Community Resilience Fund Program, which aims to make Queensland communities more resilient to natural disasters, and reduce future expenditure on asset restoration.
This project will not only promote driver awareness to potential hazards, it will build community resilience. It will ensure that during times of natural disasters, the community remains informed of safety risks on the roads, and promote a safer environment.
