Council held twelve regular and seven special meetings with high attendance. Highlights include road re-sheeting costing £1500 funded by grants, Courteil tar sealing (£2600 with half funded by a department grant), street repairs in Southbrook, planned scarifying and grading, and a move to machine powered transport requiring a five year loan. Dressing sheds near completion with cost estimates £1750 to £2000 and a potential £1000 grant. Health officer change noted as Mr King left.

Shire Press Report 1852 Council Proceedings Review
The council reports a difficult year financing roads and services amid rising costs. Despite an overdraft, a 1951 surplus helped fund new road machinery including a power-loader and crawler tractor. Federal Aid Roads grants funded gravel resurfacing, culverts, and creek crossings, with main road maintenance continuing toward extended bitumen surfacing northward.
