Repairing landslips on Donna Buang Road and Acheron Way

Update - January 2024

We’ve completed road grading works on Donna Buang Road between Mt Toolebewong and Mt Donna Buang summit.

We’ve reopened Donna Buang Road between Mt Toolebewong and Mt Donna Buang summit. Geotechnical and on-site investigations have shown that the two landslip sites in this section have stabilised and the road can now be reopened under changed traffic conditions.

To ensure the safety of all road users, we’ve made the following changes to traffic conditions:

• A reduced speed limit is in place for an approximate 250m section of the road.
• Guideposts and ‘Give Way’ signs have been installed within this 250m section. Drivers will need to give way to oncoming vehicles, with parts of this section only passable to one direction of traffic at a time.

Works that we've completed along this section of Donna Buang Road:

• Topped up the road surface and completed road grading works to make journeys smoother and safer.
• Cleaned roadside drains to improve flow of stormwater.
• Trimmed vegetation overhanging into the roadway.
• Swept the sealed section of the road to clear it of debris.

What we've done

We’ve completed repairs to three landslip sites in Warburton. We also completed grading works on Acheron Way near Road 4.

One landslip was located on Donna Buang Road near the Acheron Way intersection, another was located on Acheron Way near Road 4, and another was located on Acheron Way near Road 15.

Repair works involved:

• Excavating and removing the damaged pavement
• Building retaining walls
• Reinstating and stabilising the road layers
• Building up the asphalt layers to provide a smooth and strong road for all road users
• Drainage improvements 

These vital repair and stabilisation works have improved the safety and reliability of these roads for local communities and tourists.
