Major drainage upgrade works are to continue in Byron Bay on Tuesday after a short Easter break.
Staff say flash flooding in the town centre last month is exactly the type of flooding the drainage project is aimed at minimising, with 40 culverts reportedly installed from the rail corridor into Jonson Street and a watermain shifted.
Assets and Major Projects Manager Christopher Soulsby said last week contractors would reconstruct the iconic Rotary clocktower later this year.
The clock was temporarily decommissioned to make way for the drainage works.
Contractors were to take a short break over the Easter long weekend before returning to work on Tuesday.
The South Lawson Street Car Park was to be re-opened and pedestrian access available in front of the laneway between Guzman Y Gomez and Byron Hot Bread Kitchen.
Staff say the construction area is to extend further south on Jonson Street this month.
