Tuntable Creek Road - Temporary Access (Nov 2022)

Tuntable Creek Road experienced significant damage during the February 2022 natural disaster. Due to the nature and high number of damages incurred, works are being finalised on how best to provide timely improvements for the community and road users.

Provision of temporary access

Given the time that a permanent solution will take to design and implement, Council is currently investigating the construction of a temporary access widening at the location of the main slip to allow vehicles to pass.

A complete closure of Tuntable Creek Road, north of Rose Road to Beardow Road will be in place from Monday 28th November. Including no access for pedestrians, motorbikes, scooters, and bikes.

Construction will commence on the temporary access, with possible pedestrian only access reinstated by the end of December. One vehicular lane access under traffic light control is planned to be complete in January. Adverse weather and unforeseen subsurface conditions may delay the project.

The current soil conditions and terrain makes such a solution very difficult to implement, requiring advanced geotechnical engineering solutions and ongoing monitoring to ensure the safety of users. This temporary access will undergo further monitoring throughout construction to determine vehicle load limits for future use.
