The Hughes Road/Blain Street intersection upgrade project will be delivered as part of the Bundaberg Regional Council 2024/2025 budget.
The project was identified as part of the Bargara Emerging Communities Infrastructure Planning (ECIP) project which won an Institute of Public Works Australasia (QNT) Innovation and Sustainability in Water award and a Stormwater Queensland Excellence in Strategic or Master Planning award in 2023.
The intersection will be upgraded to a roundabout in response to the ongoing development along Hughes Road and, in particular, the planned extension of Blain Street further west.
A roundabout in this location ensures a safe intersection for all road users and will specifically feature safe crossings for pedestrians and cyclists to ensure connectivity for active modes of transport between new development and the township of Bargara.
Business Access
Council is committed to working with businesses along Hughes Road to minimise disruption and give safe access to staff, suppliers and customers.

Timeline
Sewer Main works to commence on Hughes Road, September – October 2024
Hughes Road / Blain Street Roundabout is currently at this stage
A private civil contractor will be undertaking the construction of a sewer main on the western side of Hughes Road.
Works are expected to commence on the week of 9 September 2024 and continue through to October 2024 (weather and other conditions permitting).
Hughes Road will remain open during this period; however, traffic control measures will be in place.
Upon completion of the sewer works, Council will look to commence work on the intersection. Further details on Council’s work and associated road closures will be provide in due course.
Preliminary works to water mains - 30th July and 6th August
this is an upcoming stage for Hughes Road / Blain Street Roundabout
Council will be undertaking some minor preliminary works to water mains on Hughes Rd and Blain Street on Tuesday 30th July, and Tuesday 6th August. Works will be undertaken as dayworks and nightworks. Effected residents and businesses will be notified via letterbox drop. Works will be timed to minimise disturbances to water supplies.
Roundabout work TBA
this is an upcoming stage for Hughes Road / Blain Street Roundabout
At some stage after completion of the sewer main and service relocations, Council will begin work on the roundabout. The quickest and most efficient process will be for the construction to take place “offline” (ie: Hughes Road and Blain Street closed to through traffic).
We will provide further updates to timelines for roundabout works in the coming months.
