Works to begin on Kuranda landslips
TWO landslip trouble spots in Kuranda will have almost $3 million worth of remediation carried out following Mareeba Shire Council’s approval of a tender to Australian Ground Engineering Pty Ltd.
The damage, caused by Cyclone Jasper in late 2023, occurred at the Mount Haren Road and at Warril Drive.
In a report to council, the tender of $2.99 million will provide both sites with geotechnical stabilisation works, including erosion and sediment controls, detailed batter excavation, installation and testing of ground anchors and drainage systems, reinforcement and shotcrete application, pavement reconstruction and sealing, guardrail installation, and vegetation clearing.
Warril Drive will also have damaged draining infrastructure replaced, which will include construction of kerb and channel, installation of signage and line marking, and related earthworks and reinstatement works required.
