Works Scheduled for Kumbia Crash Site

After consultation with the affected family, Queensland Police and the Department of Transport and Main Roads, Council will be undertaking works to cover burnt grass and consolidate memorials at the tragic incident site on Bunya Highway at Kumbia, which occurred on Monday 27 May 2019.

Works are scheduled to commence Thursday 27 June 2019.

As a result of the crash, the site has had a significant visual impact which has caused some distress, particularly to school children in the area who travel the road daily. Queensland Police have received approval from the family to undertake clean-up of the site which will include hydro mulching burned areas and consolidating temporary memorials.

The temporary memorials will remain on site until 19 July 2019 at which time they will be removed and a memorial cross will be established if the family wishes.

For further information contact Council on 4189 9100.
