🚗 Bega Landslip Repairs: Roads Reopened After Major Work

Extensive landslip repairs are continuing on Cambewarra Mountain and Brown Mountain, impacting key transport routes in the Bega region. Teams are undertaking stabilisation work on Moss Vale Road, a project funded by the Australian and NSW Governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).

Since the severe weather events of 2022, numerous landslip sites have been addressed. Specialist contractors are currently engaged in slope stabilisation efforts on Cambewarra Mountain, with work scheduled to take place over several weeks. These repairs involve clearing debris, installing soil nails, applying shotcrete or mesh, and enhancing drainage systems to ensure long-term resilience.

Further along Brown Mountain, a series of landslips caused by natural disasters in 2022 and 2023 has necessitated significant repair work. The final site on Brown Mountain is slated for repairs in the coming months, with Transport for NSW assuring the community will be kept informed of specific timelines.

Federal Minister for Regional Development, Kristy McBain, highlighted the joint funding of $2.8 million for these critical repairs, emphasising the importance of keeping communities connected and safe. NSW Minister for Regional Transport, Jenny Aitchison, thanked crews for their efficiency and motorists for their patience throughout the extensive repair program.

State Member for Bega, Michael Holland, acknowledged the disruption caused by the works and expressed encouragement as the final stages of repairs on Brown Mountain are approached, underscoring the commitment to safety and the transport network's resilience in the Bega area.
