You are invited to have a look through the below list of large projects to see what we're currently working on:

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

Council is continuing with delivering the approved flood works for the March 2025 declared event. 

Minor drainage works are continuing on Emu Creek Road and Top Swanfels Road in the Emu Vale and Swanfels areas..

Council requests road users take care through work sites and follow traffic controllers direction for the safety of the road user and workers.

We aim to update this data on a monthly basis.  Last updated on 8 September 2026.

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.
