Orchard Street in Taralga has been completely resealed from end to end.
Over 24-25 February 2022, the road was resealed from kerb to kerb for the length of Orchard Street.
Director of Infrastructure, Glenn Lacey, acknowledged that it is the first major re-sealing of Orchard Street in many years but would last for quite a while.
“It has come up very well and should need minimal maintenance for many years to come,” he said.
“It is anticipated that it will be line marked in coming weeks, including the school zone area.”
In recent weeks Council has also been conducting heavy patching on sections of the road between Taralga and the Abercrombie River.
“The road is many years old,” Mr Lacey said.
“And until we have adequate funding to bitumen seal lengths of the road, heavy patching will continue to be required, particularly after wet periods.”
