Murrindindi Shire Council has awarded a tender for repair works on a significant landslip site on Snobs Creek Road, Eildon.
The total contract value is $494,363.72, subject to funding approval from the State’s Department of Transport and Planning through the Commonwealth and Victorian government’s Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
The works will address damage caused by the October 2022 floods. The scope includes remediation of the landslip site, construction of retaining walls and reinstatement of the road pavement. Preliminary works are already under way, with full construction expected to commence in early June.
Council is also seeking quotations and tenders for other flood recovery projects, in readiness for future funding DRFA approvals.
“It’s encouraging to see this project progressing. Securing funding for these works can be complex, particularly for smaller councils. This tender award is an important step in restoring our road network following the 2022 floods,” said Council Infrastructure and Road Care Portfolio Councillor, Eric Lording.
“We look forward to the completion of these works and continuing recovery efforts across the Shire.”
