Stage One - Construction Begins

7 July 2025

Construction has begun on Stage 1 of the Moonta Road upgrade, spanning from Haylock Road to East Terrace. Approximately 20% of this section has been excavated, proof-rolled, and filled with rubble. Crews are currently focused on installing drainage infrastructure. As anticipated during pre-design geotechnical investigations, contractors have encountered rock during excavation. While expected, the excavation of this rock will impact both project delivery timelines and overall costs. The full quantification of these impacts is ongoing and will be provided in a future update.


An overview of Council’s expectations/deliverables for stage one is below:

  • Underground service location completed, and report submitted back to Council
  • All stormwater to be installed
  • Reshaping of the existing road where required
  • Kerbing on both sides of the road completed
  • Sealing of the road
  • Linemarking, signage, road pavement markers etc.
