Snowy Monaro Regional Council is aware of community concerns regarding the ongoing repairs to Jerangle Road. We'd like to provide some clarity on the current works:
- Targeted repairs: The current project is grant funded by the Australian and NSW Governments. The terms of the funding agreement mean we can only use this funding to fix the damage caused by specific storm events in 2023 and 2024.
While it may seem inefficient to repair only select sections of the road and leave near-by potholes unfilled, the allocation of grant funding dictates our maintenance program and does not allow for discretionary choices.
This means that any damage that happened after the storms, or was already there before, can't be repaired with this funding.
We understand that the limitations of the current repair work may cause inconvenience, and are less than ideal. Council is very grateful for the support of our government partners, without which, we would not be able to fund even this limited work.
- Completion date: Weather permitting, we expect to finish these targeted repairs by Friday 12 July 2024.
- Additional maintenance: Our crews have started a full maintenance grade of the unsealed (gravel) sections of Jerangle Road.
