Road closure Monday 18th – 22nd July from Keen Street roundabout to Molesworth Street. Local Access Only from Dawson Street. Due to the slumping on Orion Street, geotechnical drilling will be undertaken to determine the depth of the slip plane and options for remediation.

Koonorigan Road

Investigations are underway to make a safe passage over the slip, while design is undertaken for a permanent solution. Funding approval has been received to heavy patch the seal on The Channon side of the slip. This work is currently being scheduled.
