Forbesdale Highway Surfacing Hope Delayed
A message from the Secretary to the Main Roads Board informs Mr E Bennett that bituminous surfacing for a 4 mile section of the Pacific Highway south from Gloucester, including the Forbesdale School front, cannot be confirmed until funds become available. Due to limited funds and other demands, further representations should be made to the Gloucester Shire Council, which currently controls the road.
