Illaroo Rd - North Nowra - Pavement Repair

The Shoalhaven was declared a Natural Disaster Area 5 March 2022 after an East Coast Low and subsequent rain events. This had a major impact on our communities, causing rapid deterioration to pavements and roads. Along Illaroo Rd, North Nowra, reconstruction and repair work will extend over approximately 9.5km and be characterised, predominantly, by two different treatment types.
