Landslip repair - First Bay, Coolum

Dear community members,

Thank you for subscribing to project updates on the landslip repair works at First Bay, Coolum.

Final phase of works

We have completed landslip repair works to the section of cliff face above First Bay, Coolum, damaged during the February and May 2022 floods.

The works have stabilised and strengthened the landslip area.

The final phase of the project is line marking on David Low Way. Since this is a state-controlled road, the Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) must carry out an onsite review and approve the works before line marking can occur.

We’re working with DTMR to complete the onsite review and approval as quickly as possible. We’ll provide a further update as soon as timeframes are confirmed.

Thank you for your patience while we complete this final compliance step to ensure the ongoing safety of road users.

Important safety advice for motorists

When driving near roadworks, please slow down and follow these safety tips:

Obey speed signs: When you see a roadwork warning sign, reduce your speed to the limit stated on the sign.
Follow directions: Pay attention to directions from roadworkers and traffic controllers.
Be prepared to stop: Be ready to stop if needed.
Look out for roadworkers or pedestrians: Roadworkers or pedestrians may be above, below, or beside the road, or just outside your field of vision.
Move into the correct lane: Move into the correct lane as soon as possible.
Drive carefully: Drive very carefully and be aware of your surroundings.
Follow all signage: Follow all roadwork signage, even if you can't see anyone working on the road.
