Gravel Roads Project
A project to grade over 150 kms of unsealed gravel roads throughout the Lismore region, which suffered substantial damage due to declared natural disasters in December 2023 (AGRN1101) and April 2024 (AGRN1119).
The most severely affected roads received highest priority to expedite critical route restoration. This ambitious project, one of the largest of its kind, involved Council deploying six distinct work crews, strategically clustered geographically to optimise efficiency and resource allocation.
Completed roads include Bice Road, Yeagar Road, Gungas Road, Upper Coopers Creek Road, Minyon Falls Road, Wallace Road and Pinchin Road.
Our goal was to ensure comprehensive restoration and long-term resilience of our unsealed gravel road network. The funding for this engagement was granted by Transport for NSW (TfNSW) under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) guidelines to reconstruct eligible assets to pre-disaster function.
