Works in progress on Head Road at Carneys Creek

Major works on Head Road at Carneys Creek, which was damaged during the 2019 Black Summer bushfires and subsequent flood events, are progressing well with the project reaching an important milestone for Scenic Rim Regional Council.

Backfilling is now underway on one of seven landslip sites and progress continues to be made on road excavations and the construction of retaining structures.  

Additional road repairs and safety improvements to Head Road are also being carried out to enable the anticipated reopening of the road in September 2023, weather and construction conditions permitting. 

Assistance for this project has been provided through the jointly-funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
