Nowendoc Road Aims to Link Tablelands Coast via Mount George
Nowendoc Development League secretary Alex Watson reports officials consider proclaiming the section from Cooplacurrita to Nowendoc as a developmental road once funds allow. The plan would create a direct Walcha to Coast route via Nowendoc, connecting Hastings River northward with the tablelands. The Nowendoc Cooplacurrita road, in use for 60 years, could be upgraded to service present traffic at low cost while broader reef construction continues.
