This post marks the boundary between Bellingen shire and Nambucca shire councils.
When the road was maintained as a regional road, Bellingen shire graded the road from Bellingen to this point.
When the NSW state government withdrew regional road status from the Bellingen/Bowraville road on 29 May 2009, this was the place that corresponded with the distances proclaimed in the media release documents as the boundary between the two shires.
Note that the decision date of 29 May 2009 was three months after the storms that caused the closure of the road.
There is differing opinions from state government departments about the exact location of the boundary. However Bellingen Council have accepted responsibility for the repair of the Northern zone, when natural disaster funds are provided to carry out the work.
