Bellingen Shire Council has secured funding for the betterment of Valery & Timboon Roads, through the NSW Governments Regional Roads and Recovery Transport Package (RRTRP). The Valery & Timboon Road project is aimed at improving the resilience and overall condition of the road infrastructure, including a more robust pavement construction and improved alignment.

Timeframe

Works are scheduled to commence in September 2025 and are expected to last for approximately 6-9 months (weather permitting). Standard working hours for the project will be Monday-Friday 7am-6pm and Saturday 7am-1pm.

Project Scope

The project scope includes:

Vegetation management including targeted tree removal to improve road drainage.
Improvements to stormwater infrastructure including:
- Replacement of damaged or non-functioning pipes, pits, and headwalls.

- Widening and cleaning roadside drains
- Construction of concrete drainage channel where appropriate.
Rehabilitation and betterment of sections of road pavement
Improvements to road alignment at selected locations.
Bitumen Sealing of priority sections of unsealed roadway on both Valery and Timboon Roads.

Community Impacts

Noise - During the construction period there may be noise impacts experienced during working hours from Monday-Saturday. All attempts to keep this impact to a minimum will be made.

Construction Traffic - There will be an increase in construction traffic for the duration of the project. Project staff will be advised to drive safely and be considerate of the local community.

Traffic Delays - The works will be completed using traffic management. Short delays should be expected for the duration of the project. Longer delays may be required from time to time, however these delays will be planned in consideration of peak traffic flows and school bus movements.
