2022 Works history

22/12/2022 - Four (4) tenders for the repair of 38 major landslip sites were received, a comprehensive evaluation process of tenders was then completed. A report outlining the recommended tender has now been forwarded to NSW Public Work Advisory (PWA) for their endorsement. It is anticipated PWA will evaluate the tender acceptance report and respond back to Council mid-January 2023. For further information see Master Project Page Severe weather events reconstruction work - 2022 | Shoalhaven City Council (nsw.gov.au)

August 2020 Storms and flood natural disaster event AGRN923 brought the worst flooding the region has seen in 30 years with almost 400mm of rain falling in four (4) days, causing damages to 170 locations and Councils assets. Burrier Road sustained various damage in seven (7) locations. Of this damage, there were two (2) landslips impacting Burrier Road that required one (1) lane of the road be closed, while repair options were investigated, designed and construction work tendered out.

March 2022 AGRN1012 and September 2022 severe weather natural disaster events again caused significant damages across the Shoalhaven LGA including 98 landslips affecting local public roads managed by Shoalhaven City Council. Of this damage, 38 landslips were recognised as “moderate to major" and have been packaged as one (1) large project - the design documented by specialist consultants SLR and be tendered out for construction by specialist contractors.

Of this package of work, four (4) landslips are along Burrier Road. This brings the total number of landslips affecting Burrier Road to six (6).

Stage 1 landslip repair – 2 landslips

Stage 1 landslip repair involves the repair of two (2) landslips caused by the August 2020 storm and flood natural disaster events.

Location of these two (2) landslips:

Both landslips were re-damaged by two (2) rainfall events in 2022, as a result construction work ceased whilst repair work was re-designed.

Stage 2 landslip repairs – 4 landslips

Stage 2 landslip repairs involve the repair of four (4) landslips caused by the February and June 2022 storms and flood natural disaster events.

Location of these landslips are at road chainages:

The repair of these landslips is part of the 38 major landslip package tender, issued for public tender 31 October 2022, closing 6 December 2022.
