Job generation was front of mind for the Caboolture area in this year’s Budget with road construction, pathway upgrades, park developments and new sporting complexes all on the cards to keep local workers on the tools.

Councillor Adam Hain said he was excited to announce more than $11.5 million worth of works for the coming 12 months to benefit Caboolture, Morayfield and Bellmere residents.

“This financial year Council will invest in more than $4.7 million in road rehabilitation and $800,000 for approximately 2,000 metres of pathway upgrades around Division 3,” he said.

“Our big-ticket infrastructure project will be $1.47 million in road rehabilitation works along the Brown Street Corridor to accommodate future traffic growth and provide safer pedestrian and cyclist connectivity.

“Another $430,000 will go towards improvements on Webster Drive and we’ve allocated $95,000 for Caboolture River Road in Morayfield.

“We’re also looking to support the development of new industries and tourism.

“You’ll soon be able to tie the knot in the natural surrounds of Centenary Lakes Parks, with $510,000 to start building a new wedding venue.

“The popular Devine Court Sports Complex in Morayfield will get a much-needed carpark upgrade worth $400,000 to provide new parking bays and a bus set down areas, as well as pedestrian pathway connections to the club’s facilities.

“I want to thank locals for raising safety concerns about the footpath along William Berry Drive in Morayfield, in response to that community feedback we’ll prioritise the replacement of that 600 metre stretch at a cost of $180,000.

“That’s part of $800,000 dollars’ worth of investment into pathways to ensure residents travel safety when pounding the pavement.”
