Notice of Works - River Road Bank Stabilisation
The Mount Barker District Council is committed to maintaining infrastructure throughout the district and has in place a number of renewal programs, developed to assist in prioritising and scheduling works.
Council wishes to advise that construction works will shortly commence on the bank stabilisation project near 140 River Road, Hahndorf. These works will stabilise the existing Road shoulder and help protect the road and surrounding area from ongoing erosion.
What will the works involve?
- Installing 1-metre-high gabion basket wall
- Placing stabilisation rock
- Undertaking associated earthworks
- Reinstating the work area following construction
When and for how long?
Works are expected to commence on Monday, 7 December 2026, and be completed by Friday, 18 December 2026, weather and site conditions permitting. Construction activities will generally take place between 7:00 am and 5:00 pm.
What to expect?
Temporary traffic management will be in place to help keep road users and workers safe. This may include stop/slow traffic control when required.
During the construction period, there may be:
- Minor traffic delays
- Increased construction traffic
- Earthmoving equipment operating in the area
- Temporary construction and machinery noise
Please take care when travelling through the work zone, follow all traffic-control directions and allow extra time for your journey. Most works will be conducted from the paddock below.
