At the latest council meeting the ongoing labor shortage for road maintenance and contracts was discussed. Officials noted months of unlet works and high tender costs due to contractor scarce labor, and announced plans to self-perform major tasks, purchase six drays and draught horses, and expand road-making machinery in response to the industry shift and wage pressures.

Road making plant demo spurs unanimous local support

Dorrigo Shire showcased a successful test at Wool’s Harbor, demonstrating rapid blue metal production and steep-grade capability. Councils expect a 30 to 50 percent cost reduction and broader road-building efficiency, fueling public backing for the shift to mechanized road work.
