Tuntable Creek Road will close for approximately 12 months from 6 July 2026 to allow major reconstruction works on a section severely impacted by the 2022 natural disasters.
The project, being delivered by Lismore City Council's Flood Restoration Portfolio and contractor CMC Hull JV, will replace the temporary repair installed in 2023 with a permanent stabilisation and road reconstruction solution, designed to improve long-term safety and resilience.
Work forms part of Council's broader Landslip Restoration Package and is jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.
The reconstruction will involve complex geotechnical and civil engineering works including stabilising the steep terrain, rebuilding the road foundation and addressing ongoing ground movement risks at the site.
Due to the scale and complexity of the works a full road closure between Rose Road and Young Road is required to maintain community and worker safety and to ensure the project is completed as efficiently as possible.
Additional repairs on nearby landslips will be undertaken at the same time.
Early site establishment works are scheduled to commence 29 June 2026, ahead of the full closure from July.
Council acknowledges the significant impact the closure will have on residents, businesses and road users, and appreciates the community's patience as this essential long-term reconstruction is carried out. The project will deliver a more durable and resilient outcome for the community.
Council will continue to provide regular updates and works notifications throughout the delivery with detailed FAQs available on the Council website.
