Council making road repair progress

13 September 2023

Drier weather conditions during the winter months this year have allowed Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) to make good progress on its road repair program, restoring the road network that was heavily impacted by flooding in 2022.

Road crews are currently working on a number of sections of Saxa Road to improve the road surface. There will be 23 separate sections of road that will undergo heavy patching, mostly between the Mitchell Highway and Mitchell Creek.

Council have also undertaken heavy patching road repairs on a number of regional and rural roads this year. These roads include Bunglegumbie Road, Barbigal Road, Barden Avenue, Benolong Road, Boothenba Road, Burrendong Way, Burraway Road, Dripstone Road, Obley Road, Mogriguy Road, Troy Bridge Road and Wheelers Lane.

These road repairs are funded by the NSW Government’s Regional and Local Roads Repair Program which provided funding for road repairs affected by last year’s flood events.
