Griffith City Council will commence major stormwater drainage upgrades from Monday 4 August 2025 along Willandra Avenue and Belford Road.
The essential works will take place on Willandra Avenue (between Merrigal Street and Belford Road) and on Belford Road at the intersection with Willandra Avenue. As part of the construction, Belford Road (between Willandra Avenue and Jondaryan Avenue) will be fully closed to through traffic. Residents and business customers will still be able to access the area via Jondaryan Avenue.
Traffic control will also be in place along Willandra Avenue and the adjacent service road throughout the project.
Council advises that road closures and detours will be clearly marked, and all road users are asked to follow signage and directions on site. For the safety of workers, any unauthorised vehicles entering closed roads may face prosecution under Section 102 of the Roads Act (NSW), and could be liable for any damage to traffic control infrastructure.
Weather permitting, the works are expected to be completed by the end of January 2026, though there is potential for an earlier finish. Normal construction hours will be from 6.30am to 4pm Monday to Friday, with occasional Saturday work if required.
Griffith City Council thanks residents, businesses and road users for their patience and cooperation during this important infrastructure upgrade.
