Council thanks the community for your cooperation and for driving carefully through road works sites.

Council is continuing to attend to emergency works form Ex TC Alfred and Ex TC Dianne across the affected areas.
Work has recommenced on approved Jan 24 restoration works following the Mar 25 declared event. 

We aim to update this data on a monthly basis.  Last updated on 07 May 2025.

The condition of our gravel roads can change quickly, particularly after heavy rainfall.  As you would understand, we need to wait for the unsealed road to be dry enough for our heavy machinery to work on.

This work is also weather dependent so the program may be adjusted to accommodate the ever-changing weather conditions.
