Project description

The Australian Age of Dinosaurs Road is a significant commercial road in the Winton Shire, with the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum located at the end of the 11.2km road. This major tourist destination receives a significant amount of tourism traffic each year. Due to the unsealed nature, this renders the road unpassable in wet conditions for days, sometimes weeks after wet conditions have subsided. Bringing up to a sealed standard is expected to mitigate that issue making the museum accessible in most weather conditions.

It is proposed to reconstruct the road on the existing alignment, importing gravel and bringing the road up to two lane bitumen sealed standard. Winton Shire Council reference is AAOD Road Stage 4.

Total cost of proposed project is $1,598,803
