    COMPLETED WORKS
    Crofton Road
    Excitingly, road pavement restoration works on Crofton Road were completed on 6 June. The works began in November 2023 to remediate significant damaged caused during the February 2022 natural disaster. Construction involved resealing 3 kilometres of road, installing guideposts, and replacing two culverts. During these works, the road remained open with stop-go traffic conditions, and we would like to thank the community for your patience during this time.
    Dorroughby Road
    After listening to the concerns of residents, work crews organised for contractors to install a new guardrail on Dorroughby Road to improve road safety. Thank you to residents for your positive feedback following the installation.

    CURRENT WORKS
    Blue Knob Road
    Work is underway on the first of four landslip sites along Blue Knob Road. Contractor CMC is currently focused on the site closest to Nimbin, where they are constructing two soil nail walls. Once this stage is underway, they will proceed to establish the second site for excavation. The restoration of all four landslips in this project is anticipated to span 10 months, subject to weather conditions.

    Eureka Road, Graham Road & Haywood Lane
    The side tracks and earthworks are completed at all three sites. On Eureka Road piling is now completed and installation of a new Inquik bridge is planned for early August. Piling commenced on Haywood Lane 26 June and is also scheduled for Inquik bridge installation early August. Following these works, piling will begin mid-July on Graham Road due to essential energy power outage required to commence these works. Throughout construction, road users will continue to utilise the side tracks to minimise traffic disruption.


    Gravel Roads – Multiple Sites
    Efforts persist in grading over 120 kilometres of 53 unsealed gravel roads, which suffered substantial damage due to declared natural disasters in December 2023 and April 2024. The most severely affected roads receive highest priority to expedite critical route restoration. This ambitious project, one of the largest of its kind, involves Council deploying six distinct work crews, strategically clustered geographically to optimise efficiency and resource allocation. Recently, HXR conducted grading on Gungas Road and expressed gratitude to the supportive residents they have encountered to date.


    Leycester Road
    Ongoing efforts are focused on repaving the entire length of Leycester Road, covering approximately 3.6 kilometres from Kyogle Road to Bice Road. Construction entails a granular overlay of the existing road surface, resealing, and upgrades to stormwater drainage. Anticipated to span approximately six months, from July to late December 2024 subject to weather conditions. the construction will impact traffic. During this period, road users will be impacted and can expect delays. During the works, residents will be impacted while construction is carried out under traffic control stop/go arrangement and a reduced speed limit. At times road users may experience long delays necessary to facilitate the construction of the new pavement.

    Newton Drive
    Construction has commenced on a second minor upslope landslip further up Newton Drive. Crews have taken advantage of favourable weather conditions during the past month proceeding to the final cleanup and rehabilitation phase.

Additionally, if there is a road you would like specific flood restoration updates on, please register your contact details via our notification list form.

    Environmental Rescue at Rogerson Road
    What happens when a handful of bats put a major flood restoration project on hold? When it came time to replace three large steel storm water drainage pipes with reinforced concrete pipes ones on Rogerson Road, McKees Hill, project coordinators discovered at least half a dozen micro bats had made a hole in one pipe, their home.

    Myotis Macropus: One of Australia’s most fascinating species because they’re the only bats in Australia to capture fish for food. They have large feet which they use to trawl for food near the water’s surface. Work crews had to play a waiting game until two juvenile bats were old enough to fly. But then the challenge was - how to catch the youngsters and offer them an alternative roosting venue. Eventually patience and thermal imaging cameras confirmed the two young bats took to the skies for the first time, just after sunset on 1st May.

    That night the hole was sealed, and a timber bat box installed as an alternative roost. Four bats settled into their new home but the remaining two had to be caught and housed in the box. Once the culvert work is complete it’s hoped all the bats, and their box will be relocated into the new concrete pipes.

    COMPLETED WORKS

    COMPLETED WORKS

    ‘Thirst for Legacy’ – CMC Community Spirit in Nimbin
    In a heart warming display of community spirit, the CMC team involved in the Nimbin Road project recently rallied together to support the Nimbin Bowling Club. Their initiative involved recycling cans and bottles collected from their work site, with the proceeds earmarked for a noble cause: funding the installation of a BBQ area at the club. CMC head office joined in on the idea, matching the money the team raised. The Nimbin Bowlo is a non-for-profit establishment, mostly managed by dedicated volunteers, so they were very appreciative of the kind gesture. Last month the dedicated team volunteered to lay down the concrete slab. Soon other organisations came to the party with Holcim Concrete Lismore providing a discount on the concrete to fit into the budget and Nimbin Hardware donating two sheets of mesh. Additionally, several locals donated their time along with the CMC staff to place and finish the slab. CMC donated labour and supervision, as you can see from the photos many locals also provided supervision of their own. This act of gratitude was CMC’s way of expressing appreciation to the local community for their unwavering support during the team’s time in our region. Their commitment to both the project and the community exemplifies the positive impact that collaborative efforts can have. LCC would like to thank the project team for their generosity and community-minded approach!

    ROADS & BRIDGES FLOOD RESTORATION PROJECT UPDATE

    Please note, there are several road and bridge projects progressing concurrently. Below are updates of some projects progressing this month. Please check the 'Projects By Name' and select the road name for latest updates. Additionally, if there is a road you would like to secure specific updates on, please email floodrestoration@lismore.nsw.gov.au with subject ‘Add Road Name - Notification list’ to register your contact details to receive updates.


    COMPLETED WORKS

    Tuntable Falls Road
    Temporary sealed patching works were recently completed for Tuntable Falls Road. These works involved placing overlay, stabilise, trim and sealing the road surface height to repair damages from the 2022 flooding event.


    Tuntable Creek Road
    After establishing a baseline for the monitoring process and developing a management plan, the temporary track opened on Tuesday, the 14th of March. Due to the volatile nature of the landslip and risks of further damages occurring a detailed risk assessment was undertaken to control access until a permanent solution is implemented. The risk assessment requires weekly visual monitoring, survey monitoring of fixed control points and monthly inspections by a geotechnical engineer. Restrictions will be placed on the temporary access road during large rain events to mitigate risks to public. Should the road be closed due to adverse weather, VMS boards placed at The Channon and Nimbin will identify the road closure. Facebook updates will also communicate the closure to the wider community. Please report hazards or changes to Lismore City Council using reference LCC92.

    Following the February 2022 natural disaster, Crofton Road suffered extensive pavement and drainage damage. Works will begin from 4 April 2023 for culvert pipe replacement work. The works are planned for two days on 4 and 5 April 2023, subject to weather, contractor and material availability.

    For the safety of motorists and due to the nature of the works, a hard road closure is required between 7am and 5pm around the site, with the road being re-opened outside of these hours. Access for pedestrians will be maintained via a side track throughout the works. Drivers are asked to park their vehicles on the other side of the culvert and walk to their side to access their property. Please review the road closure location below.

    Please obey adjusted speed limits and directions from any traffic controllers and drive carefully. Please adhere to all road closed signs. We will ensure all driveway and farm gates that intersect the road match any changes to the road profile and are safe for property owners/residents.

    Waste services will not be affected by this closure.

    COMPLETED WORKS

    Tuntable Creek Road

    Tuntable Creek Road experienced significant damage during the February 2022 natural disaster with 11 notable landslips recorded and a major landslip closing the road north of intersection with Rose Road. A temporary solution was designed to open the road and establish connectivity between Nimbin and The Channon while the permanent solution is designed. The temporary construction consists of stabilising the embankment below the road and excavating into the slope above the road to make a single trafficable lane. The stabilisation will use up to 160 8m long soil nails and over 400m2 of sprayed concrete. Additionally, crews are also reconstructing pavement through the slip zone and installing light traffic control. The works are expected to be complete in March with the road opened to local access only and restricted during weather events. For further details please visit the Tuntable Creek Road update:
