Recommencement of geotechnical work

October 2023

The Oven Mountain Project is undertaking geotechnical investigations in the Carrai area. This work is anticipated to continue through until December 2023.

Community members may notice increased heavy vehicle movements on the Kempsey-Armidale and Carrai roads.

The Oven Mountain project is committed to creating safe work environments and the principles of no harm. We will implement the following road safety measures during project work on the Carrai Road:

  • All heavy project vehicles will be escorted by a pilot vehicle to notify oncoming vehicles
  • All project vehicles will be required to drive with lights on
  • Signs will be installed along the road clearly noting UHF communication requirements (UHF 39)
  • Regular community updates will be provided via SMS, social media, and website postings
