Project description

Finniss Vale Drive is a key tourist and community access route, providing the only access to the Township of Second Valley. The existing pavement and seal are nearing the end of their service life, with significant deformation and cracking. Limited stormwater infrastructure has resulted in uncontrolled runoff into private properties, prompting several resident complaints about flooding. To address these issues, Council will undertake full pavement renewal and roadside drainage improvements along a 760-metre section of the road. The project involves the renewal of a 760-metre section of Finniss Vale Drive and includes engineering and geotechnical assessments, service location, and vegetation clearance as needed. It will deliver a full-depth pavement reconstruction using suitable existing materials, a uniform 7.0-metre sealed carriageway, and upgraded roadside drainage to manage stormwater effectively. The works will also address property access, repair pavement failures, reseal the road, reinstate unsealed shoulders, and upgrade signage. Vegetation removal and trimming will ensure a safe clear zone along the travel lane. Council/s contribution - $267,000.00
