Force majeure for Council road repair

Published on 28 October 2022

Due to the recent storm and flood event, Council has activated the force majeure clause in our Road Management Plan.

This means we are unable to meet the response times for road repairs as stated in the plan.

The recent weather events have created significant damage to local roads, both in our Shire and across the state.

Council officers and contractors are out fixing high-risk locations, with other officers inspecting and prioritising works for the remainder of the road network. We have responsibility for 1,400km of roads across the Shire, so inspection and repair will take time. Thank you for your patience.

Please drive with caution and follow warning signs along the roads.

The force majeure will be in place until Friday 16 December and will be monitored regularly to determine if this can be brought forward or requires extension.

To report damage to roads please raise an online service request.

If the damage relates to State Government roads you can report it via their website.
