The Gloucester Shire Council held its regular meeting noting non delivery of a Local Government Department revenue return and directing the Engineer to prepare it. Subjects included Main Roads Board reports, reduced State Highway expenditure for 1980/31, and an agreement pending completion. Discussions on an indicator for the water reservoir and costs to the Council preceded a motion to obtain a price from the Electric Co. for work and present it next meeting. The annual endowment for 1881 was advised at £1250, and a plan to close the low level crossing near Macleay Street with a road deviation under the railway bridge sparked debate. Landowner objections and proper procedure for any road closure or deviation were emphasized, with a proposal to have the President and Engineer meet landowners to assess feasibility.
