Road Construction
The Shire has a Strategic Works Plan to prioritise roads to be included in the annual construction budget which is reviewed annually. Projects are prioritised using various criteria to help ensure that the available funding is allocated appropriately. Some of these criteria include road hierarchy, condition rating, traffic volumes, school bus routes and tied funding sources (grant funding carrying various conditions on allowed use).
