Hinchinbrook Shire Council advises residents that landslip and remediation works will be undertaken on Mount Fox Road from 23 March 2026 to 30 November 2026, weather permitting.
To safely carry out these works, Mount Fox Road will be closed from 23 March 2026 to 15 June 2026 between 8.00am and 3.00pm, Monday to Friday (weather permitting).
The road will remain open outside of these times including weekends and public holidays. Following the road closure period, the road will remain open; however, the following traffic conditions will apply for the remainder of the construction period:
Council acknowledges the inconvenience these works may cause and sincerely thanks the community for its patience and understanding as we deliver important improvements to this transport corridor.
These works include resilience building, remediation activities, and slope stabilisation efforts.
These works are being delivered under the joint Commonwealth–State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) in association with Hinchinbrook Shire Council.
Council will continue to keep the community informed as the project progresses.
