Young Trunk Drainage Upgrade Project

Mar 11, 2026

The Young Trunk Drainage Upgrade project (to improve the drainage system within the town centre of Young and assist in preventing flooding during large storms) continues to progress well.

Hilltops Council advises that its contractor, Delaney Civil, will extend the current work site along Lynch Street to the Boorowa Street roundabout from Wednesday, 18 March 2026. Boorowa Street will remain unaffected. However, there will be no vehicle access along Lynch Street between Boorowa Street and Cloete Street. The laneway that runs between Main Street and Zouch Street will also be closed at Lynch Street.

Pedestrian access to all businesses shall be maintained. However, the public is encouraged to use alternate routes and parking locations during this period. Parking will be available along Cloete Street up to the road closure point.

The traffic control plans on the following pages outline how temporary measures will be implemented.

Please adhere to all applicable road rules and follow all installed signage.

As the work continues, completed sections of Lynch Street will reopen. A temporary road seal may also be installed until final roadworks are completed at a later stage.

Council appreciates your cooperation and patience during these important works.
