Flood Recovery Works
Delivering the upgrades needed to repair and restore our road infrastructure following last year’s flood event continues to be a focus for Central Goldfields Shire.
Whilst a significant amount of works has been carried out, there are several packages of works to repair roads, bridges and associated infrastructure still to be delivered.
At the October Council Meeting, Councillors moved a notion of motion as urgent business. The purpose of the motion was to ensure the next round of flood mitigation works can be carried out as quickly as possible.
Increasing the CEO’s financial delegation means these contracts can be awarded without having to wait for the next Council Meeting. Essentially it means these critical works can be carried out as quickly as possible.
Here's a breakdown of the packages that have been completed and what is underway:
Package 1 - High Priority - COMPLETE
Package 1 is now complete and was delivered by Shay Excavations.

The next package of works - Package 5 - is planned for early 2024 and includes sealed road and shoulder repairs as well as culvert and structure erosion repairs.
Locations will be published on this page when works are about to commence.
The process to here:
The October 2022 floods caused significant damage to infrastructure and property throughout our municipality.
For us to submit a claim to recover the costs of this repair work through the Federal Government’s National Disaster Financial Assistance program – we were required to provide a detailed scope of the repair work.
We engaged Shepherd Services – an experienced asset management and impact assessment consultancy firm to assess the damage and provide a detailed summary of what was needed.
The assessment identified that $9.8+ million (excluding GST) of repairs were needed to restore damaged roads, culverts, and other public infrastructure in our Shire.
The road network restoration program will deliver:
- Repairs and cleaning of major and minor culvert/bridges
- Cleaning and reinstatement of roadside table drain
- Gravel resheeting and grading of damaged unsealed roads
- Repairs to sealed roads including reinstatement of potholes, rehabilitation of failed pavement and repair of unsealed shoulders where necessary
- Vegetation removal and replacement of damaged signs
Until these works are complete, we remind motorists to drive to the conditions and please be careful when using the roads, especially gravel ones.
