Water Quality Improvement Works - West Avenue

Road Improvement Works: Macquarie Street Glen Innes 

We're continuing to invest in local roads, with pavement stabilisation and patching works scheduled for Macquarie Street between Ferguson Street and Meade Street from today Monday 27 July to Friday 31 July 2026.

To allow these improvements to be completed safely and efficiently, the section of road will be closed between 7.00am and 5.00pm each day. Traffic control will be in place and motorists are asked to use alternative routes during business hours.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while these important upgrades are carried out.

For enquiries, please call Infrastructure Services on: (02) 6730 2300.

BRIDGE LOAD LIMIT: Highland Homes Creek Bridge - Gulf Road 

Effective 19 November 2025

The Gulf Road Bridge over Highland Home Creek will be load limited to 15 tonnes. 

Council has scheduled construction of a heavy vehicle bypass track for the week of 1 December which will service all heavy vehicles until rectification works on the bridge can be undertaken and then will function as an all-vehicle bypass during bridge work. 

During the summer months, Council undertakes spraying on its urban road network, to kill grass and weeds growing through road pavements and kerb and guttering. This is an important part of Council’s maintenance program to ensure longevity of its road pavements.

Council also sprays road verges on the unsealed road network ahead of grading crews. This applies to all unsealed roads in the Glen Innes Severn LGA unless prior arrangements or discussions with Council have been made.

As per the Northern Tablelands Council’s Pesticide Use Notification Pla(PDF, 178KB)n(PDF, 178KB) which can be found on Councils Website, Council provides notification for spraying of roads and verges on its website (under the Public Notices Section) and Facebook page. For spraying adjacent to Sensitive Places (schools, childcare facilities, hospitals and nursing homes), and/or for parties who register interest with Council, prior notice by phone, mail or letterbox drop will be provided at least two (2) working days beforehand.
