Gravel is low on the road and is in poor condition.1700 m long gravel resheet, 100mm depth addition of new gravel & reform.
Low quality gravel and lack of depth.860 m long gravel resheet, 100 mm depth addition of new gravel & reform.
Safety issues with with existing narrow road with poor visibility due to horizontal and vertical alignment issues and increased heavy vehicle usage. Heavy vehicles are tracking outside of the designated lane causing near misses with on coming trafficSelectively widen and seal horizontal curves
Very poor-quality material and low on gravel.1700 m long gravel resheet, with 100 mm material top-up & reform.
The existing infrastructure on Sheedy Road does not meet the requirements for the future urban environment and community. The Project is critical in supporting the urban growth developments and will meet the following future community needs:
• A road form and character that meets the urban design guidelines for the land-use function of the future residential area,
• Infrastructure for pedestrian connectivity from the new communities to the Virginia town centre,
• Adequate road surface for vehicle movements,
• Adequate stormwater management system for the urbanised environment,
• Adequate street lighting for the urbanised environment.• New sealed road surface with a 7.6m wide carriageway (from kerb face to kerb face),
• New kerb and water table
• New 1.5m wide footpath,
• New stormwater infrastructure,
• New street lighting to urban residential design standard,
• New verge between the back of kerb and footpath.
Balance of project cost will be funded by council.Total cost of proposed project is $5,882,319
Vinegrove Road, located in the locality of Moppa, is a key rural access route servicing both agricultural and residential properties and forming part of the local freight and machinery movement network. The existing unsealed formation has significantly deteriorated due to prolonged wear, limited drainage infrastructure, and increased vehicle loading over time. The road is now considered to be at the end of its useful life, with ongoing maintenance no longer proving cost-effective or sustainable. Road will be re-sheeted and constructed using a suitable quarry material that will provide a higher level of rideability and decreases maintenance intervals.
Slippery road surface as some sections have no gravel. 100mm gravel sheeting on sections that have been identified as having no gravel.
Road surface is in poor condition.The existing road surface will be removed and a new surface will be constructed.
Extra funding of $223,689 will be provided by Main Roads Western Australia under their Metropolitan Regional Road Grant program.Total cost of proposed project is $344,576
The road is continually potholing and requires constant repairs. Completing these works will reduce water ingress into the pavement, which will reduce the damage to the structural integrity of the pavement. This in turn, will improve the life of the asset. Stabilisation of base layers, widen road within the rehabilitation section to meet current hierarchy requirements, seal with a two-coat seal and seal the remainder of the road (section/s that don’t require stabilisation).
The road is aging and therefore, the condition is deteriorating from use. The road needs to be renewed to ensure it remains safe and accessible for the community.Renew the road surface wearing courses to prolong asset life and maintain full function and longevity of road assets.
The project is jointly funded with Gladstone Regional Council contributing $569,201to the project.Total cost of proposed project is $1,173,714
