🚧 UPDATE: DAVISON DRIVE TO REMAIN CLOSED THIS WEEKEND

We regret to advise that Davison Drive will remain closed this weekend (Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 June 2026) due to ongoing works and forecast weather, which may create hazardous road conditions.

The Valley Lake Recreational Area will therefore be inaccessible during this time.

The good news is these works are nearing completion, and we hope to restore full access in the coming weeks.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we complete these important works safely.

UPDATE: DAVISON DRIVE TO REMAIN CLOSED on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 June 2026.

🚧

Road works are scheduled to commence on Davison Drive (between Bay Road and Elliott Drive) from 11 May 2026 for a period of approximately six weeks.

During this period, the road will be closed to all vehicles from Monday to Friday, meaning the Valley Lake Recreational Area will be inaccessible.

The road will be reopened on weekends, and all walking and bike trails will remain open and unaffected throughout the works.

We apologise for any inconvenience these works may cause and thank you in advance for your cooperation.

For enquiries please contact City of Mount Gambier on (08) 8721 2555.
