Sealed Roads

Numerous customer requests for pothole repairs on sealed urban and rural roads have been received and actioned with the Corowa based Flocon patching truck and the Urana based Jet Master patching truck. Work is continuous on all roads such as: Federation Way, Jerilderie Road, Boree Creek Road, Urana/Boree/Morundah/Oakland and Rand townships and rural roads.
