MidCoast Council
Repairs to the major landslip on Scone Road are nearing completion, with the road scheduled to reopen on Wednesday 17 December.
A number of landslips occurred on Scone Road during the May 2025 flood event. The most significant of these was about 2.5km from Geales Bridge. It was necessary to close Scone Road in both directions due to safety concerns.
In good news for road users, work on this section of Scone Road is almost complete. Roadwork schedules are always subject to weather, so check MidCoast Council's Road Hub and Live Traffic for any updates prior to planning your journey.
Although the road will reopen prior to Christmas, there are other slips along Scone Road which still require permanent restoration. There will be changed traffic conditions at these sites, so it's important to drive to the conditions and follow warning signs.
Council is progressing funding applications and design work for permanent reconstruction works at these other slip locations. These further works will be undertaken in 2026, depending on funding approval and the weather. An update will be provided prior to the next phase of works.
These flood recovery works are funded by Federal Government Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
