Project description

The existing sealed road has sever surface cracks, edge breaks, potholes. Most of the road sections are heavily worn down and become unsafe during the rainy season. Therefore, this results lower level of service to community and there is a higher risk of rapid deterioration of base and subgrade due to water penetration. Given the circumstances, it's proposed to improve the internal roads in Alpurrurulam community by resealing.

It is proposed to upgrade the roads by undertaking base reconstruction where required, carrying out surface preparation, and resealing with aggregate and polymer-modified binder. The project is planned to be delivered in partnership with the Safer Local Roads Infrastructure Program. A total of $733,000 from the Roads to Recovery funding allocation will be committed, alongside the applied funding from the Safer Local Roads Infrastructure Program, bringing the total project value to $3.665 million. This collaborative approach ensures best value for money and delivers significant benefits to the community.

Total cost of proposed project is $3,665,000
