Council’s grading crew visits Yarranbella next week

Published on 08 May 2026

Council’s grading crew finished grading unsealed roads in the Taylors Arm area this week, from the end of the sealed section of Taylors Arm Road to Sheet O’Bark Road.

Nambucca Valley Council General Manager Bede Spannagle said next week the grading crew will head to Yarranbella, west of Talarm.

“Council maintains many thousands of kilometres of gravel roads across the Nambucca Valley and grading is an essential part of our infrastructure maintenance plan,” he said.

“Council delivers its unsealed rural road maintenance program by employing a dedicated five-personnel grading team,” he said.

“Our five-team member crew and their grader, tip truck and trailer, and water cart will be at North Bank Road and Whip Mountain Road next week (11-14 May), weather depending. Expect minor delays if you live off these roads at Yarranbella.”

Here is an outline of the grading crew’s May program, weather permitting:

North Bank Road, Yarranbella: Monday 11 May and Thursday 14 May
Whip Mountain Road, Yarranbella: Tuesday-Wednesday, 12-13 May
Bakers Creek Road, Bakers Creek: Monday 18 May
Sundowner Road, Bakers Creek: Tuesday to Friday, 19-22 May
Greenhills Road, Bakers Creek/Upper Taylors Arm: Monday-Tuesday, 25-26 May
Simpsons Ridge Road, South Arm: Wednesday-Thursday, 27-28 May.

When the grading crew maintains unsealed roads, they do the following tasks:

Grade the road surface
Clear stormwater pipes of debris
Remove unstable material from embankments.
