Bogong High Plains Road Landslip

In October 2022 a large active landslip was detected on Bogong High Plains Road between Mt Beauty and Falls Creek, above Bogong Village.

At the time of detection, the landslip was estimated to be approximately 70m high and 100m wide – making it 1 of the largest experienced on Victoria’s road network in 40 years.

Following initial clearing works by the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP), Big Build Roads ramped up works to complete the interim repair with single lane access across the front of the landslip in April 2023. Following this, major works continued with crews removing close to 600,000 tonnes of material from the landslip before successfully restoring 2 lane access on Monday 27 May 2024, ahead of the Winter Ski Season.

With 2 lanes now open, minor finishing works are underway which include:

shaping maintenance tracks around the major landslip
cleaning and removing machinery from the area near the AGL shed
connecting a permanent water supply to Bogong Village.
