This project is now complete. Thank you for your interest and patience while these essential roadworks took place.


Roadworks will be taking place along Blue Knob Road, Nimbin, from April 2020.

Council will repair a 600m section of the road between Salkeld Road and Suffolk Bridge including road widening and road re-shaping to fix a dangerous corner.

This work is funded by Transport for NSW through its NSW Safer Roads Program.

Council will be removing several remnant trees and a stand of eucalypt forest to facilitate these works. A Review of Environmental Factors determined that the proposal would not significantly impact on wildlife or habitat, however Council still plans to undertake compensatory planting works to offset the removal of these trees.

As well as the road being realigned and reconstructed, drainage will be upgraded and there will be new kerb and gutter, line marking and signage.


Things you need to know...

  • Traffic flow will be disrupted.
  • We will ensure all driveways and farm gates that intersect the road match any changes to the road profile. Residents will be contacted should driveway/access need modification. We will also do maintenance to roadside drainage as needed.
  • There may be periods of dust and noise. We will have a water carter on-site to try and mitigate dust.

What hours will work take place?

  • 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday.
  • 8am to 1pm on Saturdays (only if required).
  • No work Sundays or public holidays.

If there is a requirement to change these hours and do works on Sunday, you will be notified.
