Hinchinbrook Shire Council, in collaboration with Warrgamay Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation, advises that landslip remediation and slope stabilisation works on Wallaman Falls Road will commence on Tuesday, 6 October 2026, and continue until February 2027 (weather permitting).

Contractors will be on site between 7.00am and 5.00pm, Monday to Saturday (weather permitting), carrying out road repair and stabilisation works to improve safety and resilience along the corridor.

To facilitate these works, sections of Wallaman Falls Road will be reduced to a single lane, with traffic control in place.

Motorists should expect delays of up to 30 minutes and allow additional travel time when planning their journey.

Motorists are encouraged to:

  • Follow all traffic signage and obey posted speed limits
  • Consider alternative travel times where possible to minimise inconvenience
  • Refer to the electronic signboards located at the base and summit of Wallaman Falls Road for current traffic conditions before travelling

Council acknowledges the inconvenience these works may cause and sincerely thanks the community for its patience and understanding as these important upgrades are delivered to improve road safety and strengthen the long-term resilience of this important transport corridor.

These works are being delivered under the joint Commonwealth–State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) in association with Hinchinbrook Shire Council.

Some stages of the project may require temporary road closures of up to one hour, while more significant works may require full-day road closures. Council will continue to keep the community informed as the project progresses.
