Community Update: 3 November 2021

Members of the Bentley community gathered on Tuesday 2 November 2021, for the official opening of the new Bungabbee Bridge which was replaced due to safety issues.

Our specialist bridge crew replaced the aging wooden bridge with a new concrete and steel structure, delivering safer and more reliable journeys for locals, farmers and truck drivers.

Funded by the Federal and State governments, the new $650,000 bridge is one of ten aging wooden bridges Council will replace thanks to a $11 million government grant.

This project has helped support 20 local jobs over the nine months while work was carried out, including five full-time positions.

Council staff would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and support throughout the construction of the new bridge. It has been greatly appreciated and has made our work easier.
