Works update – 16 November 2022
Work has started on repairs to the slip on the western abutment of the Geneva Bridge.
Contractors will be installing “soil nails” over the next 10 days and will then shotcrete scour protection around the abutment.
These are interim works to protect the structure while Council awaits the final design and repairs. This is expected to be a major project and will take much of next year to complete.
Contractors are working to repair a landslip on Haystack Road and works also will start within the next month on eight landslips on Wainwrights, Tabulam, Davis, and Williams roads.

Council is currently grading and carrying out flood damage repairs at Gradys Creek, Bingeebeebra, Needhams, and Horseshoe Creek roads. Crews will then move to Brindle Creek, Eggins, Jasper Iverson and Green Pigeon roads.
