Additional works required and subsequent funding for Leycester Road are being reviewed.

The temporary works are expected to occur throughout December 2022 subject to weather, contractor, and material availability. Single lane traffic control will be in place during the works period.

These temporary works will involve removing damaged road sections and replacing with gravel road base, with an emulsion sacrificial seal.

Future pavement repair works, expected to be carried out in mid-2023 will include:

• Road surface: Improve the surface of the road in places.
• Signs and line marking: Line marking and guideposts.
• Vegetation management: Manage roadside vegetation to remove obstacles, improve sight distances, and clearances for signage.
• Drainage maintenance: Re-excavate open drains and remove flood sediment as required. Minor drainage works will be completed prior to pavement works commencing.
• Driveway adjustment: Adjust access to driveways affected by the wider road footprint as required.

Temporary stabilisation of landslip on Stony Chute Road

Currently one lane of traffic is open between Whitney and Stanger Roads. During investigation works for the permanent design it was noted that the open lane was at risk of failure due to scour and erosion. A temporary solution using rock to buttress the open face was developed and works were completed last week. Further works are ongoing to repair damaged temporary pavement along Stony Chute Road.

Council will be completing temporary patching works to improve road surface conditions for Tucki Road during November and December 2022. These works are a temporary measure, until permanent pavement rehabilitation works are scheduled.

Works will apply only to three sections of Tucki 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 Transport for NSW. This funding is allocated to repair damage sustained during the February 2022 natural disaster only. Additional works required and subsequent funding for Tucki Road are being reviewed.

The temporary works are expected to start end of November 2022 subject to weather, contractor, and material availability. Single lane traffic control will be in place during the works period.

These temporary works will involve removing damaged road sections and replacing with gravel road base, with an emulsion sacrificial seal.

Future pavement repair works, expected to be carried out in mid-2023 will include:

• Road surface: Improve the surface of the road in places.
• Signs and line marking: Line marking and guideposts.

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.

To receive updates directly please contact Lismore City Council via email council@lismore.nsw.gov.au or call (02) 6625 0500 to register your preferred contact details and feedback. Please reference ‘Tuntable Creek Road AF22/1928’ in your correspondence.

Single lane traffic control will be in place as Council completes stabilisation pavement overlay works to Riverbank Road.
