Length of Site 1 and Site 2 repair sites

Following declared natural disaster 14 September (AGRN 1034), several damaged sections of Turpentine Road were endorsed by TfNSW for Natural Disaster Funding. this funding primarily endorsed disconnected patches of pavement for repair. the sections that were not endorsed by TfNSW will be repaired by Councils' co-contribution funding.

The combined area of the four (4) sites scoped and scheduled for repair is equal to approximately 20000 metres squared. Stabilising the sections of pavement repairs with new wearing course has been approved as the most practical and cost-effective treatment method to restore full road width to Turpentine Road. Additionally, this will minimise the number of vulnerable edges, reducing the likelihood of future damage between repaired sections of pavement.

Council has engaged contractor Fulton Hogan to deliver the planned repair works program starting from Tuesday 1 October to Wednesday 30 October 2024.
