Load limit threat to industry near Bungendore
Multibricks Pty Ltd general manager K G Fletcher warns a road load limit on a Yar rawlumla Shire section could cost Canberra builders about 13 000 dollars annually. The June 15 closure of Sharrow Briars road to heavy vehicles forces clay transport via indirect routes, adding roughly 25 percent to clay delivery costs and over one dollar per thousand more brick costs. Fletcher notes the council seeks direct payments or road funds while the company has already paid road taxes to state and federal governments.
