Nimbin's Road to Recovery (June 2024)

After more than 12 months of construction the second landslip site along Nimbin Road was completed and open to traffic in both directions in late May 2024.

NIMBIN ROAD JUNE 2024

The February 2022 severe weather event significantly affected this essential route, isolating the village and causing substantial damage.

NIMBIN ROAD POST 2022 FLOODS

Work to complete repairs on the first stretch of road, about 1km from Nimbin, was completed in December last year and now work has wrapped up on the second slip site, about 4km from the village.

The engineering and geotechnical requirements of this site required a specialist solution, so Lismore City Council engaged Civil Mining and Construction (CMC) to carry out the work.

The project includes 318 micro piles and 700 concrete blocks to construct a 160m long retaining structure stabilising this section of Nimbin Road.

NIMBIN ROAD RECONSTRUCTION WORKS

These extensive works were carried out under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA), jointly funded by the Australian and NSW governments.

Lismore City Council would like to thank the community for its patience during construction and also CMC for their collaborative approach to the works, to ensure a quality outcome for the community.

NIMBIN ROAD WORKS COMPLETE

Nimbin and neighbouring communities can expect road improvements through the grading of multiple unsealed roads with works scheduled aiming to restore safe and accessible transportation routes for residents and visitors alike.
