Nimbin Road – Works Update (May 2023)

Council will undertake roadworks on two landslip sites on Nimbin Road that have been identified as significantly impacted by the February 2022 natural disaster, based on pre and post disaster assessments. Funding has been secured through the disaster recovery funding arrangement (DRFA). This funding is allocated to repair damage sustained during the February 2022 natural disaster only.

The first major construction works will commence this week at both sites. These works involve tree felling for both sites, with site one having larger trees which will land on the road. Road users are advised to follow VMS boards and signage, with delays expected as these works commence.

The works are expected to occur over 9 months from mid-May 2023 subject to weather, contractor, and material availability. This will involve piling and retaining wall construction works to allow repair of the landslips, reconstruction of pavement, reinstatement of road and guardrail barriers along with installing signs, guideposts, and line marking. Traffic control lights remain in place and existing single lane traffic control will remain in place during the works period.
