Belair Road retaining walls maintenance works

About the project

We are undertaking essential maintenance works along Belair Road, below the Windy Point Lookout, Lynton. The maintenance works are required to preserve the long-term structural integrity of this section of Belair Road. The type of maintenance works will vary based on a range of factors including the condition of the existing retaining walls, heritage considerations of some of the existing walls, land stability and landslide risk.

These works will start from Tuesday 28 January 2025, after the Australia Day long weekend and will take approximately six months to complete, weather permitting.

The Windy Point Lookout carpark will be closed to the public after the Tour Down Under from Thursday, 23 January 2025, for the duration of the maintenance works.

Pavement rehabilitation and road resurfacing works will be undertaken along Belair Road, from the intersection of Springbank Road to Windy Point Lookout Carpark, followed by line marking. These works are to ensure the long-term safety and integrity of Belair Road.

To minimise disruption to all road users, asphalt works will be undertaken at night, Sunday to Thursday, between 7pm and 6am, weather permitting.

There will be short-term access impacts to adjacent side streets and to properties along Belair Road in the work area, during these works. Traffic controllers will be on-site to facilitate local access and detour signage will be in place.
