Toowoomba Regional Council (TRC) has reopened Brimblecombe Road at Wellcamp following floodway replacement works at the Dry Creek crossing.
The $1.79 million project formed part of the 2022 Flood Recovery Program and marks the fourth Betterment-funded project to be completed in the Toowoomba Region.
Council's $11.8 million 2021-22 Betterment program is jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
Federal Minister for Emergency Management Kristy McBain said the project will allow the floodway to better withstand future events, preventing disruption and improving safety for the local community and road users.
"The reconstruction efforts demonstrate our commitment to supporting communities in their recovery from natural disasters, ensuring safer and more resilient infrastructure for the future," Minister McBain said.
"The Albanese and Queensland Governments are partnering to fund Betterment projects not just in Toowoomba, but across areas of Queensland impacted by the 2021-2022 disaster season."
Queensland Minister for Disaster Recovery Ann Leahy said Betterment has a proven track record when it comes to protecting Queensland communities.
