There is plenty happening in Hindmarsh Shire and the below provides an update on a number of projects.
ROAD WORKS
Netherby Baker Road
Works have been completed reconstructing 1,130 metres of Netherby Baker Road heading west from Netherby Cemetery Road. The sealing has been undertaken that has completed the final major part of this project. These works repaired a significantly damaged section which had large wheel ruts and pavement failure.
Albacutya Road
A major patch has been completed on Albacutya Road at the bend near the Albacutya Silo Art. Works included improving drainage, installing new pavement and slag lime stabilisation, and new seal. This has repaired pavement failure caused by saturated conditions in previous seasons.
Lorquon Netherby Road
Approximately 1,000 metres of reconstruction work has commenced on Lorquon Netherby Road, focusing on three segments in the poorest condition. Works include improving drainage, installing new pavement and slag lime stabilisation, and new seal. This will also repair pavement failure caused by saturated conditions in previous seasons.
Old Minyip Road
Culvert installation has been completed on Old Minyip Road, with further road works planned in the 2024/2025 financial year. Budget has been allocated to repair a small section of the road in the poorest condition.
JEPARIT SWIMMING HOLE UPDATE
Following requests from people using the deck at the Jeparit Swimming Hole, a new gate has been installed at the top of the stairs on the deck to improve safety. This should provide community members the peace of mind when using the space with children around, limiting their access to the riverbank.
Also included is a picture of the new playground that has recently been installed at the Swimming Hole.
JEPARIT MAIN STREET BINS
Council staff have recently installed bin wraps on the new three bins that have been installed in the Main Street of Jeparit. The wraps include a picture of Menzies Square, the Riverbank Precinct and Lake Hindmarsh.
All new bins that have been installed throughout the Shire will eventually have wraps placed on them.
NHILL HOLIDAY PARK SIGNAGE
Since resuming management of the Nhill Holiday Park in September this year, Council has commenced improvement works within the park. This includes removing the old non-compliant swimming pool and installation of a new sign at the entrance of the park.
We thank all visitors and community members for their support of the park in the short months that Council has taken over operation.
