Gravel Roads Project

Project Timeline

  • Project Status: Construction Underway 
  • Completion Date: Late 2024


A project is currently underway 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 receive highest priority to expedite critical route restoration. This ambitious project, one of the largest of its kind, involves Council deploying six distinct work crews, strategically clustered geographically to optimise efficiency and resource allocation.

Recently completed roads include Bice Road, Yeagar Road, Gungas Road, Upper Coopers Creek Road, Minyon Falls Road, Wallace Road and Pinchin Road.

Our goal is to ensure comprehensive restoration and long-term resilience of our unsealed gravel road network. The funding for this engagement is granted by Transport for NSW (TfNSW) under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) guidelines to reconstruct eligible assets to pre-disaster function.

Efforts persist in grading over 120 kilometres of 53 unsealed gravel roads
