Road regraded 12/13 April 2011

This section of the road was  graded in June 2010.

Nambucca shire Council had declared that the northern zone was too dangerous for council staff to work on, so that they could not send their standard grader to  clear the gutters and shape the road. By the middle of 2010, some 16 months after the road closure, they decided to send in a contractor with a light grader.

The contractor did a very good job, but now after 7 months, the same problems of blocked drains and channels in the road are appearing.

blocked drain forcing water back onto the road

Following a storm on Tuesday 1 Marh 2011, many trees were brought down, damaging telephone lines and blocking the road. On Thursday 3 March 2011, Council cleared the road and scraped it to cover the "water course" developing in the centre of the road.  

The report from the Value Management Workshop states in the workshop outcomes

"it was noted that the highest weighted assessment criteria as determined unanimously by the workshop group was the "Ability" to respond to life threatening situations".

If fire closes the road, or trees fall across the road during a fire, there is no way out for the residents living in this area. see sidebar for page on emergency support
