Emergency Repairs and Restoration 

Through the Flood and Storm Damage Natural Disaster 

Declaration, Council is working with Built Environment Collective (BEC) to assess the road damage from the March 2021 storms and flooding. 

Council will commence any urgent emergency works from these storm events, such as formation grading and shoulder repairs, as soon as weather and scheduling permits. 

The full restoration program will allow Council to fix the extensive damage caused to our infrastructure by this weather event.
