By combining the initial restoration works from flood damage of previously gravel road with an overlay seal the overall amount of road sealed was extended at a considerable saving.
The past year has been particularly busy for Boulia Shire’s contractors and works crews with a successful bid for flood damage works in excess of $9m toppled with $3m in funding for sealing.
The Council’s goal to seal the Outback Way received a considerable boost when the decision was made to relocate crews undertaking sealing works to the newly restored sections of flood damage near the border with NT, council’s chief executive Lynn Moore said.
