Officer roadworks underway

Works to seal LL Road and Armytage Road, from Brown Road to LL Road, in Officer are underway.

The works are part of Cardinia Shire Council’s $25 million Better Local Roads – Strategic Sealed Roads Project and will also include the construction of an interim seal on Brown Road (from Armytage Road to Starling Road), to connect LL Road and Armytage Road to the existing sealed road network.

Pavement construction, kerb and channel, as well as drainage works, will also be completed as part of the project.

The council’s Better Local Roads – Strategic Sealed Roads Project will seal approximately 40 kilometres of local unsealed roads in seven locations across the municipality.

Cardinia Shire Council Mayor Jeff Springfield said the project will play a significant role in building a better Cardinia by helping to improve the lives of residents.

“The Better Local Roads – Strategic Sealed Roads Project will create strategic links to existing sealed roads in locations where they are needed most, and where they will deliver the most benefit, such as Officer’s LL Road and Armytage Road,” Cr Springfield said.

Works on LL Road, Armytage Road, and Browns Road are fully funded by Council and are scheduled to be completed in mid-2022, weather permitting.

Works under Council’s Better Local Roads – Strategic Sealed Roads Project started in November 2020, on Main Drain Road (between Denhams Road and Ballarto Road) and Boundary Drain Road (between Denhams Road and Kooweerup Road/Station Street) in Kooweerup.

Works on these roads have now been completed.
