Floodway upgrade and replacement works have been completed successfully on Maria Creek Road at Anduramba, over Middle Creek in the northern part of the Toowoomba Region.
This marks the fifth Betterment project finished under the 2022 Flood Recovery Program and concludes all 2022 Flood Recovery works in the northern part of the Region.
The Maria Creek Road Betterment Project is funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments under the joint Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
The project is valued at $1.7 million, part of the total $10.1 million Betterment funding allocated to the Toowoomba Region through the DRFA in response to the 2021-22 disaster season.
Federal Minister for Emergency Management Kristy McBain said Toowoomba Regional Council's completion of all five Betterment projects would help minimise community disruption during the next severe weather event.
"Following the heavy rainfall and flooding events in late 2021 and early 2022, both levels of government partnered to invest $170 million for important projects identified by eligible councils across Queensland to make sure their communities are more prepared for natural disasters," Minister McBain said.
