Roads, Rehab and a Roller
02 November 2021
Council recently purchased a new 22.5 tonne rubber-tyred roller. The Council-owned roller features the latest technology which enables work to be completed more efficiently and reduces the need to hire this type of machinery. A new front-mounted mower is now also available, replacing an older unit, and will allow Council to cover the landscape faster and more effectively.
