Wooli Road - Sandy Crossing Upgrade

Project typeCivil Services
Project value$4,700,000
Project scheduleCompletion: March 2027

What's happening?

A 1km section of Wooli Road between Mahogany Drive and Pillar Creek is prone to flooding because the road is low and does not have enough drainage.

When this section floods, the Wooli and Minnie Water communities can be cut off from Grafton and the Pacific Highway. To reduce this risk, the road needs to be raised and additional drainage installed.

The project will build a new section of road just south of the existing road. It will include improved drainage, a new bridge over Sandy Creek and a six-cell culvert west of the bridge.

At the bridge, the new road will be about one metre higher than the existing road, helping to reduce the impact of flooding and improve access for the community.

When's it happening?

The project is underway, with construction beginning in September 2026 and all works planned for completion by April 2027.

What are the benefits?

A new road with increased flood resilience is a key design factor.
Improved drainage structures.
Reduced cutoff times during major events for the townships of Wooli and Minnie Waters and all residents along Wooli Road.
