Gloucester Shire Council Deals with Road Repairs and Route Talks
Gloucester Shire Council debated urgent repairs on Bowman Farm Road and a blocked section forcing private property trespass. They reviewed alternate North Coast Highway routes via Burrell Creek and Killawarra Bridge, noting Tinonee ferry floods and a possible bridge at Killabara. The New State Movement sought representation at Armidale talks, and a deputation to the Minister for Local Government discussed flood relief funding with decisive work planned to restore traffic. A Park Committee was proposed, with a fixed budget, and questions arose over selling logs from Beatle’s Island road. The engineer’s assistant appointment and staffing notes closed the session.
