Flood Recovery Works

Delivering the upgrades needed to repair and restore our road infrastructure following last year’s flood event continues to be a focus for Central Goldfields Shire.

Whilst a significant amount of works has been carried out, there are several packages of works to repair roads, bridges and associated infrastructure still to be delivered.

At the October,2023 Council Meeting, Councillors moved a notion of motion as urgent business. The purpose of the motion was to ensure the next round of flood mitigation works can be carried out as quickly as possible.

Increasing the CEO’s financial delegation means these contracts can be awarded without having to wait for the next Council Meeting. Essentially it means these critical works can be carried out as quickly as possible.

Here's a breakdown of the packages that have been completed and what is underway:

Package 1 - High Priority - COMPLETE

Package 6 is currently with the Victorian Government as part of the funding assessment approval stage. The works, which include culvert and structure erosion repairs, are currently being assessed by the Department of Transport and Planning as the appointed DRFA assessors.

Locations will be published on this page when works are about to commence.

The process to here:

The October 2022 floods caused significant damage to infrastructure and property throughout our municipality.

For us to submit a claim to recover the costs of this repair work through the Federal Government’s National Disaster Financial Assistance program – we were required to provide a detailed scope of the repair work.

We engaged Shepherd Services – an experienced asset management and impact assessment consultancy firm to assess the damage and provide a detailed summary of what was needed.

The assessment identified that $9.8+ million (excluding GST) of repairs were needed to restore damaged roads, culverts, and other public infrastructure in our Shire.

The road network restoration program will deliver:

Repairs and cleaning of major and minor culvert/bridges
Cleaning and reinstatement of roadside table drain
Gravel resheeting and grading of damaged unsealed roads
Repairs to sealed roads including reinstatement of potholes, rehabilitation of failed pavement and repair of unsealed shoulders where necessary
Vegetation removal and replacement of damaged signs

Until these works are complete, we remind motorists to drive to the conditions and please be careful when using the roads, especially gravel ones.
