Major road works on Boomerang Drive will soon get underway, improving road conditions, pedestrian safety and supporting future growth in the Blueys Beach area.
Rehabilitation works on Boomerang Drive between The Lakes Way and Reef Circuit are expected to start in late November.
Works will include the construction of a new roundabout at the entrance to the Ingenia development, reconstruction of the existing road pavement, kerb and drainage improvements, and a new shared pedestrian pathway.
The project is being jointly delivered by MidCoast Council and two property developers to improve efficiency, streamline construction and achieve a better overall outcome for the community.
The work will improve the condition and safety of Boomerang Drive, improve drainage and provide better pedestrian connections for residents and visitors.
This project is expected to be completed by September 2027, weather permitting.
At the same time, developer-funded works are underway on a new roundabout on Boomerang Drive, opposite the Blueys Beach Village shopping precinct.
These works will be delivered in six stages and are expected to be completed by March 2027, weather permitting.
With both projects taking place along Boomerang Drive, motorists can expect changed traffic conditions over the coming months.
One traffic lane will generally remain open during works, with traffic control used to manage traffic. Where possible, temporary detours will also be used to help maintain traffic flow.
Two-way traffic will be restored along Boomerang Drive during the busy Christmas/New Year and Easter holiday periods to help minimise impacts on the community and visitors.
Motorists are asked to allow extra travel time, follow traffic control directions and take care when travelling through the work areas.
