Re-build after sinkhole opens up

Noosa Council will re-build a section of road which collapsed at Sunrise Beach last Sunday after rainfall at the weekend.

The huge section on Tingira Crescent opened up as the result of what the council has said was a blocked stormwater pipe, a short distance from nearby apartments and the beach.

Council crews cleared much of the site during the week and a specialist contractor installed ground anchors to stabilise the embankment.

The bitumen collapsed into the eroded sand below the road and took part of the footpath with it.
