Federation Council is pleased to advise that it's rural and regional sealed roads flood damage application to undertake the repair of roads damaged by flood has been recently approved. The $8 million claim will almost fully fund the repair works with Council contributing approximately $50,000.
Federation Council Mayor, Cr Patrick Bourke said, at this stage, the main focus is the condition of Federation Way between Corowa and Urana and it's repair.
"The tender and procurement process is currently underway and it is anticipated that works will begin on site during August/September 2024."
"As winter is approaching and Council is not in a position to deliver the works prior, Council wishes to inform road users of the damaged surface and associated hazards when driving on Federation Way between Corowa and Urana," he said.
Council is recommending that drivers consider the surface condition when driving and reduce their speed to 60 km per hour. Some signage will be in place to remind drivers of the damaged surface and to reduce speed.
"To support the repair of flood damaged infrastructure, Council has submitted five applications for funding. Thus far two applications have been approved for rural and regional sealed roads totalling $8 million. This funding will almost fully fund the repair works with Council contributing approximately $50,000. Council is waiting to be advised of the outcome of their application for the repair of unsealed roads, roadside furniture and tree damage throughout the Council local government area," Mayor Bourke said.
