Project description

Deterioration of low-level road sections due an increase in tourism and heavy vehicle traffic (landholders and oil & gas). Road unsuitable for use during wet weather due to flooding and boggy conditions in these sections, a major concern when Bulloo Shire has received up to 460 ml in the area since January, keeping the road closed to our rural landholders for long periods of time.

Work at 6 locations along Warri Gate from Thargomindah Bundeena Road intersection, the most problematic chainages 126.35, 145.78, 159.58, 160.84, 162.43 & 166.17. Embankment to raise low-level sections of road and install levelling culvert/pipes to enable water to move under the road. RTR funding provides an opportunity for a permanent fix, to raise the low level sections for community safety and long term resilience. Council Contribution: $1,256,303

Total cost of proposed project is $2,359,904
