What's happening
We are continuing to negotiate land access agreements with Native Title groups along Great Central Road to enable road construction to commence on priority sections near the Cosmo Newberry, Warburton and Warakurna communities.
Project development activities including survey, design, environmental, geotechnical and heritage surveys, to gain approval and access to water and gravel for road construction, is continuing. Tender documents are also being drafted.
Subject to all approvals and the successful award of tender, work could recommence in early 2024.
Design work is also continuing for sealing of a further 400 kilometres of the road, including a 150 kilometre section near the Cosmo Newberry Community, 84 kilometres east of Laverton.
