Work will soon begin to upgrade Niagara Road at Diamondy in the Western Downs in a joint project by Wambo Wind Farm and Western Downs Regional Council.

Roadworks on the 10-kilometre stretch of road between Kingaroy-Jandowae Road intersection and Woollett’s Road intersection will include widening of the existing bitumen sealed road with additional gravel pavement, under road drainage and bitumen seal to a new width.

The project is being funded by Wambo Wind Farm and completed by the Western Downs Regional Council.

Wambo Wind Farm’s Project Director, Stuart Black, said repairing the road is part of what being a responsible neighbour and member of the community is all about.

“Niagara Road has sustained a heavy amount of wear and tear from construction vehicle traffic over the past two years,” Mr Black said.

“These works will restore the condition of this 10-kilometre stretch of road and ensure a better driving experience for the community.

“It’s important as a project that we deliver on our commitments to our community by providing repairs to this key thoroughfare, increasing the safety, accessibility and future viability of the road.

Western Downs Regional Council Mayor, Cr Andrew Smith, said that the road upgrades are a positive outcome for both residents and industry.

"Council is pleased to be working with Wambo Wind Farm to complete these important works to help ensure that our region's roads remain safe, strong and resilient," Cr Smith said.

"A core principle of Council's Communities Partnering Framework is private enterprise building and maintaining strong partnerships with the communities in which they operate - essentially, being good neighbours.

"The planned upgrades to Niagara Road represent a real effort on the part of Wambo Wind Farm to meet the needs and expectations of community and Council, and in doing so, deliver legacy outcomes that we can all be proud of."

The Niagara Road Widening Project is expected to commence the week of the 13th of October 2025.

During construction, the community should expect minor delays when driving along Niagara Road. Motorists are encouraged to drive to the conditions and follow the traffic management signage.
