Works are nearing completion on Scenic Rim Regional Council's new Canungra depot which will enhance its service delivery to communities in the region's east.

Councillors and members of the leadership team recently inspected progress in construction of the new depot, located within the footprint of the Canungra Waste Transfer Station on the Beaudesert-Nerang Road, which has been welcomed by Division 3 Councillor Virginia West.

"This new and larger facility will replace the depot in Pine Street and enable us to better meet the needs of the communities of Canungra, Tamborine, Tamborine Mountain and Beechmont," she said.

"As part of our Depot Strategy, it aligns with the shared Community Plan vision for an accessible and serviced region which aims to ensure Council's buildings and facilities meet current and predicted service level requirements."

Scenic Rim Mayor Greg Christensen said Beaudesert-based firm Franklin Constructions was the successful tenderer for the construction of the depot's buildings, with Council's own crews undertaking the bulk earthworks, pavement and surfacing.

"Work on the buildings is expected to be completed by the end of this month and we are hoping to complete the relocation of the depot from its current site at Pine Street by the end of November 2019," he said.

"The depot's expansion reflects the anticipated growth in our region and the growth in the demand for Council's road and park maintenance services."
