Works And Services

Roadworks form a major portion of the Council’s annual budget expenditure. Council has in recent years followed a stringent program of resealing works which is aimed at preserving Council’s existing sealed road assets. A Five Year Road Program has been developed for future works.

Gravel upgrades and other construction type works are dealt with annually during Council’s budget deliberations. Requests should be forwarded to the Council prior to the budget when public submissions are called.

Road Maintenance

Grading, rolling, cleaning of drainage, culverts etc on Council’s roads are performed throughout the Shire as part of the Council's maintenance program.

Works request forms are available at the Council office. Dangerous road conditions should be reported to the Shire immediately. Urgent matters such as fallen trees, wash aways, collapsed culverts, etc will receive prompt attention where there is a danger to life or damage to property.
