Council’s roads team is nearing completion of urgent clean-up works in fire-impacted areas, with crews preparing to transition back to normal road maintenance works.
Since the fires, Council crews have been focused on restoring safe access across affected roads, responding to damage caused by fire activity and heavy emergency response traffic.
Works to date have included:
- Clearing fallen branches loose debris and hazardous material
- Removing sediment and build-up along road edges
- Reopening drains and table drains to reduce water build-up and road deterioration
- Grading and reshaping damaged unsealed roads
- Inspecting road networks for ongoing safety risks
With most priority locations now addressed, Council’s roads team will progressively return to scheduled works across the Shire.
Some follow-up inspections and minor clean-up may still occur in impacted areas as crews finalise road recovery activities.
Council thanks residents for their patience while this essential work was carried out during the recovery phase.
