Lexton Shire considers tenders and road works plan
The council discussed sanitary contracts with or without pans and district splits for three or five years. The Clerk of Works noted dangerous culverts on Stony Creek and a scrub danger at the railway crossing. Tenders were invited for sanitary work, with projects to improve erosion, and a scarifier purchase was debated with Ballarat Shire. A petition from Glenbrae ratepayers urged a road deviation to ease travel, mail routes, and wood traffic, with owners’ attitudes pending.
