Assessment surveys underway
Residents might see this e-bike and car in our Shire over the coming weeks.
From early May, for a two-to-three-week period, contactors will be using these vehicles to undertake a condition assessment of our local footpaths and roads.
In July, condition assessments will be undertaken on all bridges and major culverts in the Shire.
The vehicles will assess approximately:
- 528km of sealed roads
- 795km of unsealed roads
- 75km of footpaths
- 77 bridges and 176 major culverts

The data will be used to determine our future works program and road and asset plans for the next four years.
