2023 Natural Disaster Reconstruction Works

The following roads have strict load limits imposed for public safety:

The imposed road load limits at various slip sites have been confirmed by Council’s geotechnical consultants by applying slope stability analysis.

A slope stability analysis considers vehicle loads, geology, soil conditions and road embankment slopes to derive a factor of safety against further embankment collapse.

For more information on how load limits are assessed:

• Load Limit Assessment Methodology - Road Damage - Storm / Flood Damage October 2022

Vehicle Weight Limit Exemption Application

Council road management staff will consider requests for an exemption to a load limit at a landslip site, and this can be done by downloading and completing the Load Limit Exemption Application Form.

Any consideration of a temporary load limit exemption would be on a risk assessment of slope stability undertaken by Council’s geotechnical consultant.

Please note: Allow at least ten (10) business days for this application to be processed.

Council uses a 'Trigger Action Response Plan' (TARP) to assess and manage when to close a road for public safety. The TARP assists Council to manage existing and historical land slip sites based on predicted rainfall events.

Roads currently affected due to landslips can deteriorate and slip further after additional heavy rainfall. Council has trigger points when deciding to close a road to all traffic for safety reasons:

Please note: Due to the unpredictable nature of landslip hazards, in most cases it is not possible to give advance notice of a road closure before a road closure is implemented.

Council understands the impact that a road closure can have on residents and the community, and only implements such measures in the face of imminent risk to public safety.
