Power lines go underground

 

Power lines are going underground in Umina, and that's good news for residents, business houses, and the streetscape of the beachside community.

The works, which started a month ago, including the digging up of footpaths through the city centre, are causing headaches for some business houses, but the results will be worth the inconvenience.

West St will be fully landscaped, footpaths replaced, and up to 60 trees planted through the town centre.

Council would ask people just to be a little patient.

The works are scheduled to be complete before Christmas.

Meantime, many local residents may have noticed the median strip outside the Brisbane Water College at Umina has been completed.

That work is designed to slow down traffic, and prevent motorists carrying our dangerous U-turns outside the school.

Council is pleased to be able to contribute to the safety of students, teachers and the general community.
