    Black Road is a short gravel road off Terania Creek, north of The Channon. The original creek crossing of Terania Creek consists of four concrete pipes and a concrete causeway. During the February 28th flooding event, the causeway was swept away in the torrential flow.

    Funding has been approved by TfNSW and Resilience NSW for engineering and survey works to be undertaken to design a new crossing to current standards. The temporary crossing currently in place is constructed of nylon rock bags with infill rock and gravel running surface. The temporary crossing will be maintained for the next 12 months until the permanent structure is complete.

    The residents have shown extraordinary resilience and fortitude during this time and their patience is appreciated.
