Drainage Improvements Underway in Yelarbon

Key points

• Drainage improvement works have started in Yelarbon, Queensland, aimed at improving water flow and reducing pooling in the township. Goondiwindi Regional Council is concreting selected areas around drainage infrastructure to improve fall rates and reduce build-up from debris and grass.
• The works follow new drainage mapping presented to the Yelarbon Community Consultative Committee earlier this year. Mayor Lawrence Springborg said the town's very flat terrain and clay soil make drainage difficult.
• The works are expected to continue over coming weeks, weather permitting.
