Roads Program & Project Update

Published on Thursday, 20 February 2025 at 9:50:10 AM

Maintenance to unsealed roads continues, however it’s extremely difficult to maintain them to last very long due to lack of moisture and the amount of traffic over them. Bring on the rain!

Please drive to conditions and let the Shire know about any dangerous sections - we will do our best to address any issues.
