Road and Plant Report for Ilfracombe Shire Council
Overseer W H Thomas submits a full report detailing roads in poor condition due to drainage failures and temporary works. He calls for a permanent four‑man works camp, 16–18 ft roads, proper crossfall, water tables, and catchment drains, or plans for tendered contract work under supervision. Road plant critiques cover truck age, need for a 60 per cent efficiency gain with a crawler tractor, and smaller, more efficient graders and scoops. current plant efficiency is about 50 per cent.
