Leycester Road - Gravel Road Maintenance (Oct 2023)

Following the February 2022 natural disaster, Leycester Road suffered extensive damage. Council completed temporary patching works to improve the road surface condition during December 2022. These works involved removing damaged road sections and replacing with gravel road base, with an emulsion sacrificial seal. The temporary patching works were a temporary measure, until permanent pavement rehabilitation works were scheduled.

The funding submission for a permanent pavement rehabilitation was completed in June 2023, and Council is awaiting on funding approval to commence work. We have also asked for priority funding to accelerate these works. When approved, works will apply to multiple sections that have been identified as significantly impacted by the February 2022 natural disaster, based on pre and post disaster assessments.

Council would like to improve the impact on residents while waiting for funding approval and have scheduled further gravel road maintenance works for next week. We would like to thank the community for their continuing patience.
