Cook Shire Council wishes to advise the public of upcoming road works as part of essential Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) and asset rehabilitation projects. These works will be carried out by contractors, and traffic control and detours will be implemented to ensure the safety of the public and workers. While the impact of these works is expected to be minimal, affected businesses will be duly informed in advance.
The tentative program for works is as follows:
Webber Esplanade DRFA Patching
