Lions Road open to light traffic

The Lions Road is now open to light traffic only.
Landslip repairs near the Border Loop Lookout and ongoing road rehabilitation works are still underway, and both areas will operate under traffic control.
Drivers should expect short delays and are asked to follow all directions from onsite crews.
Delays to work on Lions Road have been caused by ongoing wet weather and a lengthy approval process with the National Parks and Wildlife Service, which is managing impacts on endangered species in the area.
Once the final section of Lions Road is completed, the road rehabilitation crew will move on to Gradys Creek Road, with the repair sites under traffic control while works continue.
Motorists are reminded that the Lions Road is a scenic drive, not a main road, and should not be used by caravans or other heavy traffic.
Council is planning further repairs later in the year to stabilise additional landslips on Lions Road caused by Cyclone Alfred. This will require a temporary re-closure of the road once funding and approvals are in place.
Council will provide as much advance notice as possible to keep residents and motorists informed.
