Project
Overview
Following Cyclone Jasper in December 2023, Far North Queensland’s road network suffered widespread damage, with around 200 landslips recorded. A subsequent rain event in February 2024 triggered a significant slope failure on the Kuranda Range Road, a critical transport link.
The Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) engaged Geovert under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) to undertake urgent stabilisation works while maintaining access via the single remaining lane.
