ROAD CONDITIONS UPDATE SHIRE OF YILGARN

Due to varying rainfall across the Shire, future SMS notifications will be issued as reminders only and may not identify individual road closures.

Vehicles exceeding 4.5 tonnes GVM are reminded that Main Roads WA RAV and HVS permit conditions prohibit travel on gravel roads when they are visibly wet. Drivers and operators remain responsible for assessing road conditions and complying with permit requirements at all times.

The absence of a closure notice does not remove this responsibility. As the road manager under the Local Government Act 1995, the Shire may restrict access to roads and seek recovery of costs where road damage is caused by vehicle movements during unsuitable conditions.

Parker Range Road and Marvel Loch Forrestania Road are managed by Main Roads
WA. For information on these roads contact Main Roads WA on (08) 9622 4777 or
