The asphalt resurfacing works are determined by annual inspections carried out by the Fraser Coast Regional Council’s ongoing asset inspection program.

Division 8 Councillor Denis Chapman said $5.5-million has been allocated to the resurfacing program in the current budget.

“Residents will be notified before the works start so they can plan ahead and move cars off streets or out of driveways into nearby streets for ready access while the resurfacing is underway,” explained Cr Chapman.
