Natural Disaster - Road Construction Works
Natural Disaster - Road Reconstruction Works
Our Local Government Area has been impacted by several severe weather events over a long period of time, restricting Council’s endeavours to conduct what are extensive repair and restoration works. This is referred to as a Natural Disaster Declaration. When a Natural Disaster event is declared, this means we will do emergency repairs and apply to the NSW Government for funding to do the subsequent reconstruction works. Most of our local roads have been declared under the Natural Disaster Declaration packages which we have lodged to Transport for NSW (TfNSW) for approval. Once approved by TfNSW, Council will commence roadworks, weather and staff and contractor availability permitting, as soon as practically possible. However, we stress that, unfortunately, any works are dependent upon funding availability.
Unfortunately, Council does not have the financial resources to undertake the reconstruction works following a natural disaster event like a flood and requires State and Federal Government funding. This is a process that impacts and affects all NSW Councils across the State.
