Work will start from next week to repair the next stage of landslip damage on Lawrence Hargrave Drive between Coalcliff and Stanwell Park.

The repairs are needed following damage caused by extreme weather events in early 2023 and are being jointly funded by the state and federal Governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.

A total of $1.8 million worth of repairs will be carried out on the eastern side of Lawrence Hargrave Drive between Coalcliff and Stanwell Park to prevent further ground movement.

Work will include clearing debris and vegetation, drilling steel rods into the slope and installing a new guardrail.

This latest work will be carried out from next Monday the 15th of September, and is expected to be completed by late November, weather permitting.
