About the Project

Gleniffer Road provides access between Gleniffer and Bellingen as well as access to the popular tourist destination of the Promised Lands and the Never Never River. Gleniffer Road is also a key detour route to the Dorrigo Plateau when Waterfall Way is closed. The upgrade to Gleniffer Road will improve road safety and reliability for local road users and tourists alike. The damage sustained during recent flooding and a general increase in tourism to the area means Gleniffer Road has significantly deteriorated and now requires rehabilitation.

Project Scope

The rehabilitation of Glennifer Road has been broken down into two projects -  'Priority 1 Project' and 'Priority 2 Project'.

Priority 1 Project scope:

• Minor vegetation clearing
• Reconstruction of the road formation to reinstate road width
• Extension of drainage pipes
• Pavement construction
• Bitumen road surfacing
• Safety improvements (Sign and lines)

Additional Funding meant that the Project Scope was extended to include “Priority 2 Sections’ which are depicted as Section 2 and Section 3 in the attached Plan

Completion 

On Friday, December 15th, the Mayor Cr Steve Allan, joined by General Manager Mark Griffioen, State Member for Oxley Michael Kemp MP, and Deputy Manager of Operations Ashley Greenwood, gathered to commemorate the official opening of Gleniffer Road.

This remarkable transformation was made possible through the NSW Government's Fixing Local Roads Program. Initially awarded a grant of $2.1 million in Round 2 of Transport NSW's Fixing Local Roads Grant Program, our relentless efforts and successful application in Round 4 raised the project's total value to an impressive $5.3 million.

This generous funding enabled us to rehabilitate an extensive section of Gleniffer Road, bringing an essential upgrade to this vital community artery. We extend our gratitude to our main contracting team, Engineering and Civil Contractors, whose hard work and commitment have made this road not only safer but a source of pride for all residents and visitors to the area.
