Mitchell Shire Council's unsealed road grading program is currently running 3 weeks behind schedule due to ongoing hot and dry weather conditions.
To address the backlog, additional resources will be deployed in the coming weeks to help accelerate maintenance efforts across Council's unsealed road network.
The prolonged dry weather has made grading more challenging, as the lack of moisture in the road surface material not only slows down the process but also accelerates deterioration, leading to corrugations.
Council is working to improve road conditions as quickly as possible and encourages community members to exercise caution both on the roads and near work crews.
For non-urgent road issues, residents can check out the Whose Road Is It? tool to find out who manages the road and how to report concerns.
For urgent issues on Council-managed roads, please call 03 5734 6200.
