The Burdekin Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) is pleased to announce that assistance has been secured to help the community cross the Bruce Highway at Plantation Creek.
Queensland Rail will be deploying a 10-seater Rail Bus to assist the community after its successful use in Ingham. This service will help residents travel between Ayr and Home Hill while floodwaters impact road access.
Passengers will be bused from the Home Hill Comfort Stop to Mirrigan Road, railed across Plantation Creek, and dropped at Ayr Railway Station. From the station, another bus will transport passengers to Graham Street Bus Depot.
Parking is available at both Graham Street Bus Depot, Ayr, and Home Hill Comfort Stop.
Priority seating is given to patients with medical appointments, emergency services staff, healthcare workers (Hospital, Regis Aged Care, pharmacies), school teachers, and other staff required to attend their work place.
The rail cart will be operating until 8pm from Tuesday and Wednesday night, and on Thursday operating until 5pm and Friday as necessary.
Please ensure you meet at the designated departure points in Ayr and Home Hill to be allowed on the rail cart. Do not go to the railway stations, as you will not be permitted to board.
Please consider limiting travel unless necessary.
