Council will undertake road widening and drainage improvements on Wattle Grove Road below Hollands Road, restoring the road to a safer two-lane width following a landslip.
Project background
A section of Wattle Grove Road below the Hollands Road junction was impacted by a landslip, reducing the available road width and requiring ongoing traffic management. Council is now progressing permanent repairs to reinstate the full road formation and improve stormwater management at the site.
About the works
Council’s contractor will widen the road and reinstate the full 6-metre-wide pavement. The works include:
- installing new drainage infrastructure, including kerb and channel
- widening and rebuilding the pavement
- installing new safety barriers
Expected commencement: 23 March 2026
Expected completion: 17 April 2026
Location: Wattle Grove Road below Hollands Road
Traffic impacts
A single lane closure with traffic control will be in place along an approximately 110-metre section of Wattle Grove Road below Hollands Road. Motorists should expect delays and follow the directions of traffic controllers.
At times, traffic may be held for up to 15 minutes if required to allow works to proceed safely. Motorists should expect delays and follow the directions of traffic controllers.
Wattle Grove Road is a school bus route. Council has alerted the bus operator, and the contractor will make allowance for bus movements during the works.
Community benefit
These works will restore an approximately 110-metre stretch of Wattle Grove Road to two lanes, improving safety and reliability for local road users and strengthening stormwater management at the landslip site.
