Cooke Street Extension Upgrade ๐Ÿšง๐Ÿšจ

Council is very pleased to advise that the 2.5km road surface upgrade project on Cooke Street Extension has been completed in conjunction with Councilโ€™s contractor. The road was previously a unsealed gravel road.

This project was highlighted in through the Annual Business Plan process via community submissions. With the assistance of Councilโ€™s annual Roads to Recovery grant funding, Council was able to get this project completed to ensure Cooke Street Extension is fully sealed right through to Pinks Beach Road.

Councilโ€™s internal staff did a wonderful job in all of the site preparation works prior to the contractors coming in to complete the finishing touches.

The works included new material on the road base, installation of culverts, improved shoulders on both sides of the road and a double coat seal (7mm and 14mm aggregate). Line marking will be completed in the coming weeks.

Council apologises for inconvenience while works were being undertaken, but we are very excited to have this project completed.
