The icon is a Gang Gang Cockatoo, which is a pretty cool bird and also the ACT faunal emblem.

Significant detours will stop motorists from using Queanbeyan’s main street for at least six months as long-awaited upgrades finally get underway from tomorrow (12 March).

The $17.5 million priority works will see both lanes of Monaro Street shut from the Lowe Street intersection (near the Queanbeyan Courthouse and police station) to the Atkinson Street roundabout (near Hungry Jack’s and Dominos).

Motorists have been urged to avoid the CBD and use alternative routes along Yass Road (towards Pialligo Avenue and Canberra Airport) and Ellerton Drive (bypassing Queanbeyan towards Jerrabomberra) if possible.
