Questions without notice taken on notice
Orroral Valley—campground
Mr Steel (in reply to a question by Mr Parton on Tuesday, 22 November 2022):
Repairs to Orroral Road are expected to commence in the coming weeks. These are preliminary works and involve temporary deflection of the river flow ahead of major works commencing in the new year.
Nationwide shortages and consequential extensive lead times in obtaining construction materials (particularly stormwater pipes) has affected the construction program. Ongoing inclement weather has also compromised site access, noting the limited rural access to the location.
Major works are expected be completed by the middle of 2023 (weather permitting).
We understand this has been frustrating for the community and appreciate the community’s patience as we continue to work through these challenges.
