Roads recovery

Major flooding in May 2025 destroyed The Bight Bridge and Tiri Bridge. Click below for the latest updates on each bridge.


A break down of our 3,630km road network

Our road network is the second largest in NSW. Managing such a large network with a relatively small population requires investing our limited funding wisely.

Management and funding

Under the Civil Liability Act 2002, council responsibilities are limited by the financial and other resources reasonably available.
  • Council responsibilities

    • The level of service for public roads
    • The standard of road construction

    These decisions are based on what the council can sustain over the long term


  • Working with government partners

    To improve our roads, we work with State and Federal Government to secure grant funding to upgrade roads that connect our communities.

  • Repair prioritisation

    Council operates within a finite budget and must prioritise repairs based on risk, traffic volumes, and available funding.

  • Pothole patching

    Temporary patching, while not ideal, is often the only immediate measure to reduce danger until a more permanent reconstruction can be scheduled.

2025-26 road investment
