BEERBURRUM will have no power on January 21 and 24, due to major upgrades scheduled by Energex.
An Energex spokesperson said the works were necessary to ensure adequate power supply.
“Our crews will be replacing 11,000 volt powerlines in sections of Beerburrum to allow for increased reliability to the area’s network,” they said.
“The powerlines being replaced have served the town well for more than 50 years but are at the end of their useful life.
“These works also need to take place now to ensure they’re completed before the school year starts.”
The spokesperson added that they have notified residents about the upgrades by mail.
“This is to enable home and business owners to make alternative arrangements well in advance,” they said.
