Nimbin Road - Flood Restoration Maintenance Works

Council plans to undertake roadworks on sections of Nimbin Road. This planned work is proudly funded by both the NSW and the Australian Governments.

Where are the roadworks?

The roadworks will apply to some sections of Nimbin Road between Wilson Street, North Lismore to Stony Chute Road, Nimbin

Why do the roadworks?

The roadwork will essentially improve road conditions and associated safety, and funding has been allocated due to the 28 February and March 2022 flooding events.

What do the works involve?

The roadwork is to improve road safety through the following:

  • Road surface: Improve the surface of the road in places. Road to be raised approx. 150mm

  • Signs and line marking: Line marking and guideposts

  • Vegetation management: Manage roadside vegetation to remove obstacles, improve sight distances and clearances for signage

  • Drainage maintenance: Re-excavate open drains and remove flood sediment as required

  • Driveway adjustment: Adjust access to driveways affected by the wider road footprint as required.

These works will be completed under single lane traffic control.

When do the works start?

Temporary emergency works commenced this week, currently providing an unsealed gravel road. Permanent restoration works as outlined commence mid-August. Once works commence they should take approximately 8 weeks to complete, weather permitting

What do you need to do now?

You do not need to do anything as this notification is just to let you know in advance of the roadworks. If you have any questions or local knowledge of issues for Council to consider in your area, you are welcome to contact our Civil Works Engineer.
