Repairs to infrastructure in the Pyrenees Shire
Updated 5 September 2023
Repair work is underway on the $8M+ worth of work required to repair Council owned infrastructure such as road and culverts. There has also been a number of community assets affected by the flood such as the Avoca Recreation Reserve, Men's Shed (Avoca & Beaufort), Beaufort Scout/Guide Hall, parks in Avoca, Lexton and Beaufort.
Council is required to submit applications to the State Government for funding approval to fix the infrastructure. Works have been prioritised based on the severity of the damage and the amount of traffic that uses the road. We know there are many roads in the Pyrenees that need repairing and we thank you, the community, for your patience. Please drive carefully and follow signs while repairs take place.
