Vera and Wilson Streets Helensburgh

Last update: 7 May 2024

We’re working on plans to repair the significant road damage at Vera and Wilson streets, Helensburgh, that was caused by the April natural storm disaster.

The roads are currently closed with sections of the road surface washed away, and the adjoining embankments eroded.

We’ve installed fencing around the damaged road surface and put in place temporary traffic arrangements to ensure the safety of our community.

There is currently no vehicle access to Helensburgh Railway Train Station Car Park. We're investigating options on how we can reopen one lane for safe access.

In the meantime, residents are encouraged to follow on-site signage and to be mindful there may be changes to parking and street access in the area. These will be marked out with temporary signage.

Update Tuesday 7 May

Before we can start road repairs, we need Sydney Water to complete some urgent works on the exposed pressurised sewer water main.

From Monday 6 May 2024, Sydney Water have started their works. It is expected to take up to two weeks to complete, depending on weather conditions. If you have any questions about this specific work, please reach out to Sydney Water.

Once they've completed their work, Council will then take over the site to repair the road.

We’re asking our community to please avoid the area if possible, for their safety. We encourage people to access the train station via Wilsons Creek Road.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to work through a complex project.
