  Council wishes to advise of upcoming works on the listed roads below. The works involve grading over 120km of unsealed gravel roads which have been significantly damaged as a result of declared natural disaster events AGRN1101 (December 2023) and AGRN1119 (April 2024).
  
  What are the works?

  Roads with the most severe damage have been given the highest priority to ensure that critical routes are restored first. Council is deploying six separate works crews and efforts have been made to cluster the works geographically to optimise efficiency and resource allocation.
  
  The works will begin to commence this week, though will not all begin simultaneously due to contractor availability. These works will take approximately three months to complete, weather permitting.
  
  We understand the importance of these roads to our daily commutes, emergency services, and local economy, and we are committed to restoring them to their optimal condition quickly. Motorists will be notified of road changes via roadside signage. We apologise in advance for any disruptions you may experience while we carry out this essential work.

  We are in the process of assessing various additional roads to be included in the scope of these recovery works. Our goal is to ensure comprehensive restoration and long-term resilience of our unsealed gravel road network. The funding for this engagement is granted by Transport for NSW (TfNSW) under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) guidelines to reconstruct eligible assets to pre-disaster function.

  
  

  Works Criteria

  The works have been carefully distributed and prioritised based on the following criteria:

  • Scale of Damage: Roads with the most severe damage have been given the highest priority to ensure that critical routes are restored first.
  • Contractor Availability: We have coordinated with available contractors to expedite the commencement of these essential repairs.
  • Group Locality: Efforts have been made to cluster the works geographically to optimise efficiency and resource allocation.

  How will the works affect traffic?

  Roads will be open to residential access only during the time of works. Traffic controls will be in place, which will cause minor delays and disruptions. Please note roadside signage, updates on myroadinfo and updates in the online Your Say article for communication about temporary disruptions to your property access during this period.

  
  

  What do the works involve?

  These roads need to be fixed to improve the structural integrity and driving conditions for road users. Works include cleaning drains and culverts, cutting off high road shoulders, digging out and replacing soft spots with rock. The gravel overlay is placed where required, before stabilising with the addition of slag lime. This is then compacted, trimmed, and sealed. Followed by line marking edge line.

  
  

  The road surface may receive a final wearing seal several months after the initial bitumen seal has cured.

  This pavement overlay may potentially change road levels between 0mm to +150mm and resurfacing of the existing road width due to additional layers of new road base material.

  
  

  All driveways that intersect the road will match any changes to the road profile. If there are any changes, you will be contacted should your driveway/access need modification. We will also do maintenance to roadside drainage as needed.

  What happens now?

  If you wish to make comment on the works, we ask that you do this by 4pm Monday, 15^th August 2022 referring to ‘Flood Recovery Heavy Patching Program’. Feedback can be received via any of the following:
