The City has received requests to improve the condition of unsealed roads in the Lower Bluff, St Leonards.

The main concerns with the current material are dust in dry weather and mud in wet weather.

The most effective solution to remove dust and mud is to seal the roads. But we understand that may you like to keep the roads as they are.

We'd like to hear from you on the following options.

Seal the main spine roads

• Improve surface drainage and seal the main spine roads to reduce the seasonal dust and mud issues.
• The proposed spine roads include Cliff Street, Henry Crescent, Wattlehill Grove and parts of Ord Street, Beach Road and Swan Parade.
• A map of the proposed spine roads can be viewed here.
• It is proposed to keep the open drains and install culverts with driveable end walls under driveways. See an example on the home page.

Seal all roads

• Improve surface drainage and seal all roads in the Lower Bluff.
• Includes all unsealed roads as indicated by the shaded area in the map (here).
• It is proposed to keep the open drains and install culverts with driveable end walls under driveways. See an example on the home page.

Keep the current road surface

• No changes to the road material.
• The road surface will remain unchanged and will be inspected annually to identify any major hazards, risks or defects.
• The roads would continue to be maintained as per our Road Management Plan.
