Pavement Restoration Program

The Flood Restoration Portfolio is ramping up to deliver road repairs across the LGA. For efficiency, similar projects focused on sealed road surface repairs have been pooled into a single group: the Pavement Restoration Program.

Funding Funded by Transport for NSW under the Essential Public Asset Restoration Program
Status In progress
Timeframe Estimated completion December 2026 (weather permitting)
Project Overview

Specialist firms were invited to express interest in both the design and construction phases. The proponent for the design phase has now been appointed.

Feeding into this work, aerial surveys were recently completed, gathering data on 84 damages along 25 roads to inform detailed restoration designs. More than 160kms was surveyed in just four days, with LiDAR technology mounted to a helicopter.

Following the design phase, experts in sealed road surface restoration will be invited to submit proposals for the construction portion. Once appointed, they will develop a detailed delivery schedule, specifying locations and timelines for project implementation.
