Newton Road - Minor Landslip & Culvert Works (Mar 2024)

Council wishes to advise of upcoming works on Newton Drive. The works will occur for approximately six to eight weeks, from 2 April 2024, subject to weather conditions.

The road will remain open with works completed under traffic control to have minimal impact on residents. Motorists will be notified of road changes via roadside signage and updated through www.livetraffic.com. There will be no impact to Emergency services vehicles. We apologise in advance for any disruptions you may experience while we carry out this essential work.

What are the works?
Following the February 2022 natural disaster, Newton Drive suffered extensive damage. Funding has now been secured for restoration works for several minor landslips and a single pipe culvert identified on the below map. Works will involve scaling of boulders and the clearing and reformation of a table drain to return the road to pre-existing condition.
