Large-scale construction work started last week for the Coffs Harbour Bypass. Works will include building new road connections between Campbell Close and the Pacific Highway and between Russ Hammond Close and Korora School Road. We’ll start to see vegetation clearing, sites established, removing buildings, and fencing being installed. By late April, the main construction building site for the entire project will be opening. I love popping in to the Orara Valley. It was great to be in Coramba and Nana Glen where I caught up with Gurmesh Singh MP and several wonderful local businesses. It was fantastic to chat to so many lovely locals, and as always, the coffee was great.
