As part of our commitment to deliver a safe and connected local road network, we'll soon be upgrading the Leisure Drive, Greenway Drive and Darlington Drive intersection in Banora Point.
This project will be delivered in 2 stages (see work zones map below).
Stage 1, located at sites 2, 1 and 5 on the map below, was completed in February 2024. This stage included relocating services (such as gas, telecommunications and water), realigning kerbs and gutters, widening the road and modifying underground drainage.
Stage 2 of the upgrade will be carried out during the Christmas school holidays of 2024/2025, ensuring that the majority of works are completed with minimal disruption to school activities. This stage includes installing a signalised pedestrian crossing and widening lanes to make travel through this area safer and easier for everyone.
For the safety of our crews and the adverse impact on infrastructure quality, works are not able to be undertaken during wet conditions.
Council crews will undertake the works from Monday to Friday, between 7 am and 5 pm. Works may need to be conducted some Saturdays, between 7 am to 1 pm. Linemarking will be carried out at night towards the end of the project.
What to expect during construction:
- There will be no access to the grassed area, about 50 metres east of the roundabout, during construction.
- Two-way traffic will be maintained during construction however, lanes will be narrower and the speed limit will be reduced to 40 km/h.
- Temporary road and lane closures during work hours, which may cause delays of up to 5 minutes.
- Avoid on-road parking during work hours.
- Use alternative routes where possible or allow additional time for your journey.
- During temporary footpath closures, we'll provide clear directions for pedestrians to navigate around the work areas. For pedestrian detours, see work zone maps below.
- The bus stop, west of Advocate Place, will be temporarily relocated about 100 metres to the east, just past Advocate Place.
- Limited access to some properties and driveways within the work zone during work hours. Please ask the traffic controller for help if you need access.Changed traffic conditions with traffic controllers guiding traffic flow during work hours.
- As part of the road widening, drainage improvements and new footpath installation, some trees within the work zone will need to be removed, while others will be saved where possible. In some cases, root systems may be impacted, making preservation unfeasible. Trees that cannot be saved will be replaced with new plantings to maintain the area’s greenery. Additionally, tree trimming will be conducted east of Advocate Place.

Uki and Tweed hinterland residents and regular users of Kyogle Road have been making the most of the road now that the 3 main restoration sites have fully reopened to the public.
Kyogle Road Site B, completed with linemarking and guard rails.
At Kyogle site C, contractor CMC has completed 2 sections which were impacted by the 2022 floods.
At Kyogle Road site A, the road has reopened to dual lane traffic. A speed restriction of 80km/h is in place.Official completion of CMC’s works on all 3 sites on Kyogle Road and also Mount Warning Road was marked at a media event last week.

Contractor CMC would like to thank the community for their patience and understanding while the flood restoration works were carried out on this complex project.
Road resealing from Byangum Bridge to Tyalgum Road intersection.
Lane closures will cause traffic delays. Also, the rest area north of Byangum Bridge will be closed during the resealing works, as it will be used as a stockpile area.

Contractor SEE Civil has achieved a significant milestone in the flood restoration work at the extreme slip site on Tyalgum Road.
The Tyalgum Road flood restoration has reached a major milestone with the completion of piling operations. The piling rig and heavy lift crane are being removed from the site along with other heavy equipment.
Contractors have completed the piling operations, a major milestone in the restoration of the Tyalgum Road slip site.
Tweed Shire Council, Rix piling contractors and SEE Civil crew mark the completion of piling operations on the Tyalgum Road slip site.The site, one of the most complex in the Tweed, currently involves drilling and installing 66 concrete piles on the upslope side of the site and this was achieved on the weekend.
Piling contractor RIX has completed constructing a total of 130 piles on the sites to secure the slip area having commenced the work in March, 2024. RIX completed 64 piles for the bottom row of the slip site before transferring operations to the upslope side of the site in September 2024.
Contractors are now progressing in core drilling through the concrete piles and tie-back works are due to commence this week.
In other significant works, heavy equipment is being demobilised from the site.
With the completion of piling, traffic will remain under traffic light control while work continues and a SEE Civil spokesperson said the community had been abiding by the reduced speed limit.
The expected completion date for permanent works remains mid-2025.
Motorists are asked to please keep to the 40 km/h speed limit on the temporary access roadway and to be mindful of local wildlife. Any injured wildlife reports can be phoned through to 02 6672 4789.
