12 months after the February 28 2022 floods and under a cloud of uncertainty, Tuntable Creek Road is now open to local traffic after our Road Crews put in a temporary road to allow access between Nimbin and The Channon.

Tuntable Creek Road experienced significant damage during the February 2022 natural disaster, including 11 notable road slips and a major road slip closing the road north of the intersection with Rose Road.

It was uncertain as to whether an engineering solution could be found for the road until a breakthrough late last year.

The temporary construction included stabilising the embankment below the road and excavating into the slope above the road to make a single trafficable lane. A temporary pavement was also constructed through the slip zone and installing light traffic control.

Restrictions will be placed on the temporary access road during large rain events to mitigate risks to the public. Should the road be closed due to adverse weather, VMS boards will be placed at The Channon and Nimbin to notify motorists.

Lismore City Council will also provide updates on Facebook.

The LCC Road Team is currently working to design a permanent solution for the road.
