Hinchinbrook Shire Council wishes to advise that the bus shelter on Leichhardt Street, Forrest Beach has been removed due to safety concerns.
The structure had significantly deteriorated, resulting in sharp edges and potential structural instability.
While initial efforts were made to barricade the shelter to prevent use, these measures were bypassed, prompting the removal of the shelter entirely in the interest of public safety.
Council has budgeted for replacement of the bus shelter and options for temporary seating are currently being considered.
For further information, please contact Hinchinbrook Shire Council’s customer service centre on (07) 4776 4600 for more information.
