Shire of Victoria Plains

Wet Gravel Roads
I would like to advise all land owners that they have an obligation to the Shire to abide by the
law regarding the use of gravel roads in wet weather. There is to be no access to gravel roads
when it is visibly wet. Those who are found to breach these laws, will be liable for prosecution
by MRWA under the heavy vehicle regulations.
It costs council a lot of money to repair these roads, and if this continues council may in the
future need to raise the rates base to keep these roads in a fit state for your property to
achieve its goals.
Council is also looking at having a text type system that will alert owners and contractors of
closed roads with in the Shire of Victoria Plains.
If any one sees heavy vehicles on roads that they should not be on, please inform the Shire or
Main Roads Heavy Division. All reports will be kept confidential.
We will be reopening on Friday 31st March 2017
We look forward to having you dine with us
Compliment
The Treasurer/Secretary of the Yerecoin Progress Association recently wrote to the Shire to
say:
We are very grateful to the Shire’s Works Department for the work they have
carried out at the wayside rest area (Yerecoin), the planting and paving are just beautiful and
really tidy the place up!
