Kings Highway repair work
Urgent repair works as a result of the heavy rain are underway at Government Bend on the Kings Highway from Wednesday 24 March 2021. The road is open, however, traffic control and speed restrictions will be in place. Please slow down, drive to conditions and follow directions given by traffic controllers.

Clean up
Council crews are out and about assessing and making repairs where possible, including filling potholes. As waters recede from flooded bridges, they’ll be assessed, cleaned, repaired and opened as a priority.
Flood damage to Council infrastructure valued at more than $240,000 triggers eligibility to apply for a NSW Government Natural Disaster Declaration, which provides funding for repairs to flood-damaged assets. Four were declared in 2020 for floods in February, July, August, and October, with December’s application pending. Council anticipates Natural Disaster Declaration eligibility for the March 2021 floods.
Water conditions
Please avoid swimming at beaches and rivers for a few days. Waterways may be polluted following the high influx of rain and stormwater, and there is danger of debris like logs and branches that can cause injury.
