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.

How this affects you

To minimise disruption to all road users, the majority of works will be undertaken at night, Sunday to Thursday, between 7pm to 6am (weather permitting). No night works will be undertaken Friday and Saturday nights.

To keep everyone safe, there will also be changes to traffic conditions along Belair Road, including temporary road closures and traffic detours as follows:
