Mayoral plan eyeing State highway deviation flood relief
At a council meeting Aldermen discussed a proposed highway deviation to raise State Highway 17 above flood level. The plan would divert traffic from the business centre and railway area, link to a high level bridge replacing Woods Crossing, and require limited private property impact while aiding flood mitigation. The Mayor endorsed preliminary survey and asked Department of Main Roads review.
