Late last week we received a briefing from the Department of National Parks and Wildlife concerning the present state of parks in the Hinchinbrook Shire. Unfortunately, roads into the parks have been significantly damaged and substantial earthwork and bridge infrastructure repairs are required. Access to the Jourama Falls day area has been achieved but the access track to the falls remains closed. Council is endeavouring to remediate Wallaman Falls Road as quickly as possible, but vegetation and slippage is problematic at present. The road into Broadwater will require bridge repairs, and at this stage it is not expected that this road will re-open in the near future.
Council has been in discussion with the Insurance Council of Australia and has been informed that home restoration and repair work for homes damaged in the recent flood events is well underway throughout the district. Demolition waste will be shredded to pulp as much as possible to ensure that the remaining life of the Warrens Hill waste facility is not compromised significantly by space wastage. The Insurance Council has informed that for the present, most work is able to be performed whilst residents remain in situ, thus alleviating the need for temporary accommodation requirements. This situation will be monitored as work progresses.
For any residents that may have a need for assistance, please remember that the Recovery Hubs are still in operation at Ingham and Halifax and that much information on the services to assist can be obtained at such locations.
