Project Update

Construction has commenced at the Sheathers Bridge end for the new 200mm diameter pipeline, extending to Nimbin weir along Gungas Road. Following all preliminary works being successfully completed, 140m of the pipeline has been replaced.

Due to the nature of works and required equipment, residents and motorists travelling on Gungas Road should anticipate traffic delays until the project completion.

The construction activities may lead to elevated noise levels and increased dust. We are aware that these changes could impact nearby residents. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and want to assure you that measures will be implemented to minimize these disturbances.

Will this project cause water restrictions?

The most recent water restrictions for Nimbin and current boiled water alerts for Nimbin Rural Line are the result of decreased water flow in Mulgum Creek. The restrictions were in place to manage water supply with forecasted dry weather. Further information on restrictions, will be shared via Council’s communication channels.
