Roadside slashing underway

Roadside Slashing Program is now underway.

The annual program is expected to continue until late November/early December (weather dependent).

Slashing vegetation along roadsides reduces the risk of grass fires when cars pull over to the side of the road.

It also improves safety by creating clear lines of sight for road users.

Over the next two months Council’s team will progress through Maldon, Newstead, Guildford, Harcourt, Sutton Grange, Metcalfe and Taradale.

Please take care if you see the teams out and about as they are operating heavy equipment. We encourage you to drive carefully as you overtake.
