Lions Road update

Council is working to re-open Lions Road as soon as we possibly can, but unfortunately it won’t be in time for Easter.

It’s hoped, weather permitting, the road that will be open mid-April.

The complex work required to repair seven major landslips which occurred during the 2022 floods coupled with persistent wet weather and safety considerations have meant the road has had to remain closed longer than initial estimates.

When the road does re-open, it will be under traffic control.

Looking ahead, 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.
