Thank you to those residents who have donated to the Mayor's Christmas Appeal so far.
There is plenty of time to still show compassion and donate.
For those residents who feel they do not have enough time to purchase a gift or food, you may like to pop into Council’s main office and quickly make a monetary donation.
All donations will be passed on to the Hinchinbrook Community Support Centre to purchase appropriate items for those in need this Christmas.
The Mayor's Christmas Appeal is running until 5.00pm Wednesday 14 December 2022.
Council wishes to advise that a temporary 20 tonne load limit and a speed reduction to 20km per hour is in place across Waterfall Creek Timber Bridge located on El Alamein Road Abergowrie until further notice, effective immediately.
The load limit and speed reduction will remain until the bridge is replaced which is planned to happen after the 2023 wet season.
A recent structural assessment of Waterfall Creek Bridge has recommended that a 20 tonne load limit is introduced in the interests of public safety.
Heavy vehicles over 20 tonnes will be required to detour around the bridge via Tarakan Road and Tobruk Road.
Electronic Variable Message Boards have been deployed to communicate the restrictions until fixed signage is installed.
Council has been successful in obtaining funding under the Federal Governments Bridge Renewal Funding program to replace the bridge in 2023.
A design and construction tender will be released to market in the coming months to engage a contractor in order for works to commence after the end of the 2023 wet season.
For further information or clarification, please contact Council’s Acting Infrastructure Assets Manager, Luke Panzenbock on 4776 4706.
