WORKS to stabilise the beach embankment at Illaroo Road, Lake Cathie, were expected to wrap up this week.
Port Macquarie-Hastings Council has been working at the southern end, adjacent to the beach and dune area, to stabilise the edge of the road.
The work has involved installing four-tonne bags of rocks to act as medium-term supports until a long-term solution is actioned through Council’s Coastal Management Plan.
It is part of a wide-ranging program of road rehabilitation works that will continue through to June.
Pavement stabilisation works are also scheduled for the following locations:
—Lorne Road, Kendall: from 50 metres west of Logans Crossing Road to approximately 200 metres west.
—Sancrox Road, Sancrox: from Frogs Roundabout westbound for one kilometre.
—Rolland Plains Road, Telegraph Point: between the Old Pacific Highway and Hidden Valley Road.
—Lake Innes Drive, Lake Innes: from 700 metres south-east of Tall Timbers Road to the start of the 2024–25 rehabilitation area
—Blackbutt Drive, Wauchope: between Cameron Street and Peppermint Crescent.
—Comboyne Street, Kendall: between numbers 21 and 55.
Council describes pavement stabilisation as a process that strengthens the existing road base by treating and reusing materials already in place, followed by a new sealed surface.
The approach improves driving conditions, extends the life of the road and reduces the need for future reactive maintenance.
