"Well over $800,000 has been spent just in the last couple of years patching-up that small section of the road between Duke Road and the Emu Mountain roundabout and that has simply been a case of good money being poured after bad.
"My persistent scrutiny of this project finally paid off and on the final sitting day of the 53rd Queensland Parliament, an announcement was made that $6.5 million in funding had been allocated with work to begin on the rehabilitation works in June; weather permitting, the work should be completed by the end of 2012. "
Glen Elmes said that the Eumundi-Noosa Road is the main east-west arterial road linking the Bruce Highway, Eumundi and Noosa with many thousands of visitors and locals using the road every day. Once work is completed, they will be able to do so safely.
"These rehabilitation works will complement the upgrade to Cooroy-Noosa Road that culminated in over $2 million being spent on safety measures at the intersection of Cooroy-Noosa Road and Sunrise Road".
Glen Elmes said that he was delighted with the announcement and can't wait to see the 'Roadworks' signs go up.
