The City of Coffs Harbour will begin watermain construction on Gordon and Vernon Streets in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales, starting on 11 March 2026. This project is part of a plan to upgrade local water pipes to make the system more reliable and prevent future service breaks for residents and businesses.

Work will take place on Gordon Street between Coff and Vernon Streets, and on Vernon Street between Gordon and Duke Streets. The construction is expected to continue through to mid-June 2026.

People living nearby or driving through the area should expect temporary lane closures and traffic control during the day. Signs will be put up to guide motorists and pedestrians safely around the work zones.

The council is carrying out these repairs to improve the essential water supply in the city centre. Drivers are being asked to leave extra time for their trips and use caution while the work is underway.
