A significant step forward in the repair of Reserve Creek Road has been achieved with Transport for NSW issuing confirmation to allow further design work to progress.
Contractor SEE Civil Pty Ltd has been awarded the restoration work contract worth $5,978,367 and the company will now progress design work from 30% to 100% completion.
Initial work on site is expected to start after Easter, with the aim of temporary access being completed part way through construction, approximately 7 weeks after site work begins.
Council Director Engineering David Oxenham said allowing the full design work to progress would be welcome news to residents who live in the Reserve Creek area.
"The Reserve Creek Road landslip presents a major design and engineering challenge," Mr Oxenham said.
"The 2022 February – March floods significantly undermined the road, causing a 15-metre high, near-vertical landslip.
"We are pleased to finally sign off with Transport for NSW for their funding approval to cover the cost of repairs, which will allow SEE Civil to commence work to build greater resilience to combat natural disasters and the impacts of climate change into an important part of our road network."
