The upgrade of McGilchrist Road, Eudlo from a gravel road to a sealed road provides formalised road lanes, and increased visibility for motorists. This upgrade will also help to reduce dust and maintenance costs.
Project scope
McGilchrist Road will be sealed between Ilkley Road and Dales Road. Work will be undertaken in two stages, with the first stage from Ilkley Road to Culgoa Road and the second stage immediately south of the Dales Road intersection.
Project update
Council is now liaising with McGilchrist Road residents on the design for Stage 1.
The final detailed design will be finalised early May.
Stage 2 will be funded in in future financial years.
