🚗 If you notice vehicles driving slowly or stopping on roads north of Broadford over the next few weeks, there’s no need for concern - it’s just Council crews carrying out night-time road inspections.

From Monday 8 June to Sunday 29 June, inspectors will be assessing things like road signage, cat’s eyes, guideposts and line marking visibility at night to help identify any maintenance or safety improvements needed.

Inspections will take place between 5.30pm and 2.30am with no road closures or traffic impacts expected. Please slow down and use caution as you pass.

The works are part of Council’s ongoing road safety and maintenance program across the Shire.

For more information, please call Council on 5734 6200.
