WELCOME!
A petition received in February 2024 demonstrated that there was support to seal a sections of Newcombe Street, Drysdale between Princess street and The Glen intersection. The petition stated that the signatories wanted a seal to address concerns with dust and mud from the existing gravel road surface.
In response t the petition we have now completed the necessary design to enable us to understand the cost of sealing this section of road and are seeking to understand the level of support for the road to be upgraded via a Special Rate and Charge scheme (SRC). Further information regarding our special Rate and Charges Policy can be found here
In addition to confirming the level of support for the project, we are giving property owners the chance to nominate their preferred method of sharing the cost of the works amongst properties in the scheme. We have provided four different apportionment methods listed as A – D to select from and ask that you indicate your preferred choice.
We invite you to join the conversation to enable us to identify if sealing this section of Newcombe Street, Drysdale as a cost sharing arrangement is something you support or if you would prefer to see the road remain unchanged.There are a number of ways for you to do this:
