ROAD WORK - OLD NORTHERN ROAD, WISEMANS FERRY - MONDAY 24 JUNE TO FRIDAY 19 JULY 2024
Nightwork has begun to replace sections of asphalt and repaint road markings along Old Northern Road, in both directions, between Hawkins Lookout, Wisemans Ferry and 5047 Old Northern Road, Maroota.
The work will take place from Sunday to Thursday each week, between the hours of 8pm and 5am the next day, weather permitting.
Old Northern Road will be closed between Wisemans Ferry Road, Maroota and River Road, Wisemans Ferry.
Motorists will need to detour via Old Northern Road at Maroota to Castle Hill Road, Pennant hills Road, Pacific Motorway, Peats Ridge Road, George Downes Drive and Wisemans Ferry Road to access the northern side of the Hawkesbury River. The vehicle ferry will be required to cross to the township of Wisemans Ferry.
Emergency vehicle access will be maintained at all times.
No heavy vehicles will be able to access the area, at any time, during the work hours.
Access will be maintained for local residents on Old Northern Road and in the villages north of the work zone, under the direction of traffic controllers. However, there may be delays of up to one hour at the closure points at River Road and Wisemans Ferry Road until safe travel through the work zone can be arranged.
For residents that live within these closure points, but do not need to pass through the work zone, the delays will be less.

Robyn could you possibly look into the reinstatement of veteran plaques that where removed by Hills Council at the demolition of the Lower Portland Hall. The plaques were stored with council and never reinstated in Lower Portland. The community would like some kind of acknowledgement of those community members who served. Hills council have not responded with the whereabouts of the plaques which where stored in an office. Lower Portland represented by two local governments but this was a Hills delegation.
Keep up the good work with War Memorials of any kind.

A wonderful day Robyn Preston MP, thank you for joining us for the opening. We greatly appreciate your long term support of the Box Hill, Nelson and Gables communities as the local member.
Looks like a great area for all to enjoy. Thanks Robyn.
I first met this group of wonderful volunteers during the 2019/2020 Black Summer Bushfires.
They just seemed to appear from nowhere and stayed for as long as we needed them.
They were from all faiths, cultural backgrounds and locations and they all worked together to rescue, feed, provide shelter and supplies to those impacted by natural disasters.
Their volunteering went way beyond Hawkesbury and we heard about their tenacious effort in Eugowra, in the NSW Central West where flash flooding heavily impacted locals.
Awards were presented to many worthy Volunteer Ministers, some each clocking up more than 5,000 hours of service.
Bravo and thank you to everyone!

Was a great day & so nice to see you again.
Congratulations 👏👏
As a former member of the national committee of CIFS - Cult Information & Family Support, I am deeply disappointed that any politician would be prepared to be photographed with or give affirmation to a group as egregiously evil as the Scientologists.
Scientology is a cult, and a very dangerous one at that. Skilled at public relations manipulation, they will offer their “help” during disasters but this is a cover, and a very thin one, for their efforts at psychological manipulation.
I’m absolutely gobsmacked.
It was great to be invited to address the Richmond/Windsor VIEW Club this week.
VIEW (Voice, Interests and Education of Women) is a leading women's national volunteer organisation providing the opportunity for women of all walks of life to meet regularly, establish lasting friendships and help disadvantaged Australian children through supporting the work of children's charity, The Smith Family
The Richmond/Windsor VIEW Club meet monthly at the Richmond Club. Their main aim is to continue the wonderful charity work of those women who have been members over the past 50 years.

When it does open, it will be to light traffic only, with vehicles weighing 4.5 tonne or less able to cross the river.
There will be no pedestrian access for a few days while the hand rails are reassessed and safely restored.
The river peaked at Richmond at 10.4 mtrs at 8:00 a.m. Saturday morning and Windsor peaked at 8.61 mtrs at 8:15 p.m. on Saturday night.
Ferries out of operation due to the flood waters - Wisemans Ferry, Webbs Creek and Sackville.
Lower Portland ferry is still out for repairs.
This was a short, sharp flood following the rain that fell on Thursday/Friday and with Warragamba Dam being full to the brim is spilled down to the Nepean and Hawkesbury valley.
A big thank you to our SES crews who have been out there protecting us once again.

Enjoy the future folks. This is only ever going to get worse with every new development. Stuck in traffic just because 1 bridge is out.
The lights at Thomson's Sq and Mac / Bridge St should have been turned off.
Surely between you, transport of nsw, council etc there is a brain cell there that would have thought of this like yesterday morning.
Now let’s use some common sense and empty the dam by 20percent so we aren’t doing this again in a couple of weeks 😃
Thankyou for your update. If the state government wishes to keep Warragamba at near maximum level we will continue to see the North Ricmond bridge flood on an ongoing basis. Twice in 2 months is ridiculous. Surely the new bridge should be fast tracked.and whilst we are at it build the Grose river bridge. Way to much red tape in getting things done.
Robyn,
Can you please address the traffic management issue on behalf of your constituency. It's appalling that situation occurs and is left unattended.
Many thanks.
Robyn,
Next time your in parliament can you ask the minister or representative for Warragamba Dam...
Knowing a big rain fall is coming, can we start to spill the dam slowly in the lead up to the rain to help minimise the effect of flooding that we've seen over the past couple of years.
Surely we if started the spill early it wouldn't as bad as what we have seen of late.
Just an early preparation should help all those being effected by flooding.
Is the bridge open now?
There is much to be done in the Hawkesbury.
We need strong advocates who get things done.
Thank you for the heads up 👍
A big thank you to all that keep our community safe. And to all that keept us informed.
Relocate Hawkesbury Hornets BMX Club
Build the Castlereagh Freeway all the way to Bilpin as originally planned! Never worry about a bridge closure again.
Wayne Marino
Thank you for the information. X
Thanks Robyn.
Windsor peaked at 8.68 at 2pm Saturday
Should get a job with services NSW , should be fixing the issue, not long winded reports on the obvious .
Minns promised if he got in he would change the Dam to a flood mitigation dam.
What has he done, NOTHING.
Nothing but a mouth piece. And a liar.
Happy Sunday Robyn
I gave my maiden speech as the Member for Hawkesbury to the Parliament on May 29th, 2019.
