Council is aware of the ongoing problems with Polo Flat Road. Since the last update in October 2024, our maintenance teams have been patching damaged sections of the road surface to limit further deterioration.
Starting Wednesday 18 December 2024, Council will undertake spray-sealing of damaged sections of Polo Flat Road.
This short-term solution will be completed before Christmas, and improve the condition of the road until comprehensive repairs are completed in the New Year.
Recent high temperatures have caused surface bleeding – where the bitumen expands through the road-base to form a film over the surface of the road – in addition to the existing problems with the road surface. Crews on-site have been using a water cart to limit this by cooling the pavement, and repairing other defects as they form.
Traffic control measures will be in place while this work is underway. Road users are advised to follow the direction of roadworks signage and workers on-site.
Council appreciates the community's ongoing patience as we continue working towards a permanent solution for Polo Flat Road.
