“Having road grading information readily available on council’s website gives residents an avenue to seek the answer to a very common question ‘when will my road be graded?’,” he said.

“Ongoing road maintenance is one of the most important activities in Golden Plains Shire, and we want to take every opportunity to keep people informed on road maintenance activities across the Shire.

“The website is a great tool to find the information you need, and our customer experience team is also available to answer any questions about the road grading program.”
