Pinchin Road is scheduled to undergo pavement repairs on some sections of severely damaged areas from Monday 29th August 2022.
Initially the works will start with drainage remediation to allow water to drain from the pavement. Following these works there will be a pavement stabilisation crew mobilising to site to stabilise the existing pavement. As well as adding an additional 100mm of new road base material to improve the pavements strength.
This work is a large roads maintenance activity and will take approximately 5 weeks to complete (weather permitting).
A single lane traffic closure will allow traffic to travel through the worksite. Signage will be in place to notify road users, and updates available on Live Traffic NSW. Works on Keerrong Road will be postponed from September 1st, to allow additional traffic flow while Pinchin Road works are completed.

Following the February 28 and March 2022 flooding events, a road embankment landslip and tension cracking have occurred on Johnston Road, approximately 1km from Bangalow Road.
There is currently an interim road closure in place, allowing local access only. Geotechnical borehole drilling and the installation of inclinometers and piezometers will commence from Monday 22nd of August for one week (subject to weather and ground conditions). For the safety of motorists, a full road closure at the slip location will be in place for the duration of these works , with access granted to the properties located within the road closure only. To ensure your travels are not delayed, please review the road closure location to determine whether accessing from Eltham Road or Bangalow Road is most appropriate for your property.
Minor surface grade repairs, shoulder works and signposting for longer term traffic arrangements will also take place during this time. On completion of these works, the road will be reopened to one lane of traffic under a give-way arrangement at the slip locations. This arrangement will remain in place for several months until full remediation work commences.
A detailed site survey will be needed to get a full understanding of the landslips impact to the surrounding area, and to undertake the detailed design of the restoration. The survey will take approximately 2 days and will be completed after the geotechnical investigations, dates TBC. The survey will involve a combination of traditional (on foot) and drone survey, as per the extent in the following image. During the survey you may see surveyors working on the side of the road, or a drone flying overhead.
On-going monitoring of the inclinometers and piezometers will be required for a few months following the installation (timeframe will be confirmed from the data recorded). This on-going monitoring will ensure the slips behaviour / displacement is fully understood and the design of the remediation is robust and fit-for purpose. The on-going monitoring will involve a geotechnical engineer re-visiting the instruments once per week and taking readings by hand for approximately 30 minutes at each location. The instruments will be located within the shoulders of the road to enable the readings to take place with no impact to traffic. The approximate locations of the instruments are shown below.
The geotechnical investigations and survey will determine the detailed design and cost of the repair, which will be included in an application for funding to complete this work. Approval for funding is anticipated to be received by the end of August. Construction is planned to be commenced by the end of 2022, subject to approvals, contractor availability and weather.
Further updates will be shared via this page as works continue.

***Update Thursday 1 September, 2022***
South Skyline Road closure will be extended until Wednesday 7/9/2022 next week due to difficult drilling conditions. We are aiming to have the rig off the road, and the road opened up over the weekend.***
Following the February 28 and March 2022 events, Skyline Road has suffered damage due to a landslip, adjacent to 353 Skyline Road. Funding has now been secured to complete remediation works.
To undertake remediation, geotechnical drilling under engineer supervision is required. Instruments to monitor further ground movement and water table will be installed for monitoring, to assist designers and determine the scope of works.
Drilling is expected to commence this week. Motorists will be advised via roadside signage. A track is available each way allowing access past the slip. Please use caution and drive carefully.
Further updates, including commencement of construction for remediation at a later date will be shared via the News Feed tab of this page.

We are continuing to update the community on the extensive repair work Council is undertaking across our road network and any updates on our planned projects.
Among many other roads, our crews are working on two projects at the Clyde Campbell Carpark.
Construction of the Clyde Campbell Solar Carpark and EV Charging Station officially commenced in early July. Electrical work for the 75kW DC fast Electric Vehicle (EV) charger, capable of charging two cars at one, has been installed.
Today crews resurfaced the area of the Solar Carpark with asphalt and prepared the landscaping sections.
The next phase of this project will be constructing a 100kW solar array, which doubles as a shade structure – Engineered to withstand floods.
At the same time today, the carpark was repaired in sections from damage due to the 28 February natural disaster. Crews prepared the surface of the carpark and resurfaced it with asphalt.
We will keep our community up to date on the solar project and repair work of the carpark.
