August 2020 Storms and flood natural disaster event AGRN923 brought the worst flooding the region has seen in 30 years with almost 400mm of rain falling in four (4) days, causing damages to 170 locations and Councils assets. Burrier Road sustained various damage in seven (7) locations. Of this damage, there were two (2) landslips impacting Burrier Road that required one (1) lane of the road be closed, while repair options were investigated, designed and construction work tendered out.

March 2022 AGRN1012 and September 2022 severe weather natural disaster events again caused significant damages across the Shoalhaven LGA including 98 landslips affecting local public roads managed by Shoalhaven City Council. Of this damage, 38 landslips were recognised as “moderate to major" and have been packaged as one (1) large project - the design documented by specialist consultants SLR and be tendered out for construction by specialist contractors.

Of this package of work, four (4) landslips are along Burrier Road. This brings the total number of landslips affecting Burrier Road to six (6).
