Motorists are reminded to follow all directional signage and exercise caution near work zones. Every effort will be made to minimize disruptions, though minor delays are expected.

Sunrise Beach Landslide Stabilisation Project

Major infrastructure works are now underway at Sunrise Beach to address long-term stability at the Sunshine Creek landslide site. This $2.5 million project involves significant embankment stabilisation and stormwater system upgrades.

Effective immediately and continuing through early March, the following disruptions are active:

• Full closure of the coastal pathway between Sobraon Street and Adams Street/Ross Crescent.
• Temporary road closures near the pathway entrance to facilitate construction machinery.
• Short-term, intermittent closures of Beach Access 35 for public safety during material removal.

Parents are encouraged to plan alternative safe routes for children who typically use these pathways for school travel. Standard working hours are 6:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday.
