Centre Block Storm Water Drain
Aging infrastructure has resulted in safety fencing running across the Centre Block in Rainbow Beach as the storm water drain had collapsed in various places.
Council recognises that this area is a valued community asset, therefore at the February Ordinary Council meeting the second quarter budget review was adopted including a revised capital works program that included allocated funding to commence the design works to rectify the collapsed drain.
