Joint media release with the Hon Mark Bailey MP
Canungra and Tamborine Mountain residents can once again access Tamborine Mountain Road, locally known as the Goat Track, as it reopens after extensive reconstruction works.
A significant landslip severely damaged the road following excessive rainfall of 300mm over four days during December 2020.
The project involved the removal of more than 20,000 tonnes of landslip debris and unstable material.
The works also included a stabilisation of the steep slope above the road by installing more than 300 rock anchors, along with 5500m² of mesh and rock-catch fencing on the cliff face.
Assistance will be provided through the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
Motorists are advised the Goat Track (Tamborine Mountain Road) will remain signalised in the repair section.
Transport and Main Roads (TMR) continues to work across the Gold Coast hinterland and Scenic Rim to repair other roads damaged by heavy rain and flooding in December 2020, March and December 2021, and from more recent downpours this year.
