Noel Street repairs delayed until March 2020

Noel Street road repairs – start date delayed
Works to repair Noel Street have been delayed until March 2020. Lismore City Council needs to go through a procurement process to engage a new contractor to undertake these works.

Council had planned to repair the road surface in Noel Street starting in mid-January, however, the need to hire a new contractor has delayed this process.

Work includes reconstruction of Noel Street and is expected to take four weeks. This will involve temporary disruption to property access – notification letters will be sent prior to any work commencing.

House cleaning – Beardow and Noel Streets
Council had arranged house cleaning to remove dust for identified Beardow Street residences. This has been delayed until water restrictions are lifted. Residents will be advised when restrictions are lifted and a commencement date for house cleaning is rescheduled.

Noel Street residents will be offered this same house cleaning service once Noel Street road repairs are complete.

Beardow Street embankment issues
Following the rain event that occurred on 18 January, an isolated area of slumping has occurred in Beardow Street.

This is centred around a stormwater pit and investigations are underway to determine the cause and extent of the road slumping. The contractor and a geotechnical expert are currently working on a solution.

Residents will be notified about timelines for repair works once these investigations are complete.
