Project description

This 2.1 km section of road is the only road that feeds Weeroona Island which is home to over 200 people and is expanding. This causeway road is potholed and in need of edge break work as Council have widened it in recent months.

Council have widened and repaired the 2.1 km section of road addressing potholes and edge breaks on one side of the causeway, leaving the other side of the causeway yet to be instated. This would require widening the shoulder for 2.1 km and compacting with suitable product, raised and crushed locally preparing surface for reseal. Council have under their maintenance regime completed potholes on the entire road surface for the entire length and edge break work on one side. There will be a short fall in funds to complete the project of $30,000 which will be supplemented by the Council. This project is well needed as it is the life line to the Island as the only road in and out of the Island community. It is also frequented by many tourists that visit the Island along with many people that participate in recreational fishing.

Total cost of proposed project is $430,000
