Intersection upgrade impresses

How about a big congrats to all the workers from Offlay Civil who put in the hard work to get this achievement (the intersections of Mellor St and Station Road) over the line?

Not a mention in the paper 2 January 2026?

Thanks, Nan

– Nancy Hampson

Gympie

ED NOTE: You’re right, Nancy, the press release from Gympie Regional Council doesn’t mention the construction company, Offlay Civil, which worked really hard to get the intersections completed before Christmas. Well done to all the contractors, and thank you from all at Gympie Today for minimising the disruption to our business during this time.
