This year’s budget will deliver $18.2 million worth of works for Division 7.

Deputy Mayor Denise Sims said improving the safety and efficiency of local roads continues to be a priority.

“We are investing $4.9 million this financial year to kickstart a host of intersection and road upgrades along Old Gympie Road at Kallangur and Dakabin,” she said.

“The intersection at Brays Road and McClintock Drive will get an $8 million upgrade.

“Improving our lake and river systems is just as important, with over $1 million allocated to improving the water quality of the Black Duck System and another $45,000 to commence the rock wall riverbank stabilisation project at John Oxley Reserve in Murrumba Downs.

“Division 7 residents value outdoor recreation, that’s why nearly $3 million is to be invested across 18 different parks and green spaces.

“These include $515,000 for a new park in Cecily Street and $160,000 to rejuvenate Freshwater Reserve Parks, both in Kallangur. 

“Planning for the future has not gone unnoticed with $250,000 for crucial concept designs for the rail underpass at Dakabin, $50,000 to design a Scouts precinct at Murrumba Downs, and planning is well underway for toilet amenities at Kruger Hall in Penson Park.”
