Community Survey – Heavy Vehicle Access Strategy

1. Do you support a strategy aimed at giving priority to upgrades along heavy vehicle routes that provide the shortest connection to the state sealed road network for freight and transport?*
(i.e. east-west roads north of Yorketown and north-south roads south of Yorketown)
- Yes
- No
2. Do you support a strategy that would see the removal of the 26m B Double gazettal/pre-approval on the least used roads?*
- Yes
- No
3. Where there are adjacent roads, are you in favour of Council maintaining 26m B Double access on only the highest use roads, with access to other roads provided via a permit, where there is a demonstrated need to access the road?*
- Yes
- No

4. Where a primary producer/transport operator has no alternative access for 26m B Doubles, except for a particular road, and the road in question has P1 or P2 issues identified, are you in favour of minimising the risk to other road users through the removal of the road from the gazette/pre-approval, with access instead provided via a permit, which will attract conditions of use?*
- Yes
- No
5. Are you in favour of the blanket removal of the 26m B Double gazettal and pre-approval on all roads identified as P1 and P2, with access instead provided by way of a permit, where there is a demonstrated need?*
- Yes
- No
6. What do you believe is a reasonable period of notice, if Council was to de-gazette the 26m B Double network?*
7. What roads are critical to your business, for which there is no alternative route?*

8. Noting the $121+ million value to address P1 and P2 issues on the roads most used by primary producers and the transport operators who service them, and bearing in mind Council’s responsibility to address these issues now that they have been identified, as a primary production ratepayer, are you willing to accept a primary production special rate increase over and above existing rates dedicated to specifically addressing P1 and P2 issues?*
- Yes
- No
- Not Applicable
If yes, what per cent, over and above existing rates, would you be prepared to pay?*
9. What do you believe should be considered as part of the solution/strategy to manage heavy vehicle risks on roads with P1 or P2 issues?*
10. Would you like to be kept up to date via email as the strategy develops and the program of works is implemented?*
- Yes
- No
