A number of flood recovery projects have now been completed or are nearing completion. Council's Infrastructure Recovery Team and various contractors have been busy repairing landslips, culverts and more, following the extensive damage caused by the 2022 floods.
"We've made some great progress on Wilsons Creek Road, Left Bank Road and Main Arm Road over the past few months with some of the more major landslips now repaired," said Phil Warner, Council's Manager Infrastructure Recovery.
"I want to thank the staff and contractors involved in these projects and give a huge thanks to the communities living near the work sites for their patience, as we deliver this work.
"There will be more work happening this year and beyond. Unfortunately, it does take time to deliver such a large program of work," said Mr Warner.

Council also reminds all road users to drive with care through construction zones, follow signage and directions from traffic controllers, and allow extra travel time for their safety and the safety of workers on site.
