Head Road was initially damaged during the 2019 bushfires and sustained further severe damage in the March and May 2022 rain events, rendering the road inaccessible. Guardrails and culverts were fire damaged followed by a series of landslips, tree falls and scour damage in steep, mountainous terrain.

The reconstruction works enabled the reopening of the road after a significant closure and increased the resilience of Head Road reducing the likelihood of future closures. This will improve access through to New South Wales for local residents, businesses and visitors. This project was funded under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.



Redfrost managed the DRFA damage assessments, submissions and acquittals, extensive investigation and design management covering challenging landslip sites, construction procurement including tender preparation, evaluation and award, as well as contract administration.
