District Council Of Lower Eyre Peninsula

Remove the following approval routes:

Part of Broccabruna Drive needs to be removed:

Broccabruna Drive (section from Mena Road to the Flinders Highway)

Broccabruna Drive (section from Farm Beach Road southwards)

 

Broccabruna Drive (section from Mena Road to the Flinders Highway)

The road is not all-weather, very narrow, windy in places and weaves through very large gum trees. The road therefore does not meet geometrical standards for a Commodity Route in terms of road width and horizontal alignment and does not meet pavement standards. As a consequence, the road is not maintained as a freight route. Any agriculture land in the area has frontage to other gazetted Commodity Routes.

 

Broccabruna Drive (section from Farm Beach Road southwards)

This road serves a holiday shack area with narrow roads and no footpaths. It would be difficult and unsafe for a Class 2 RAV to manoeuvre in the shack area. Any agriculture land in the area has frontage to other gazetted Commodity Routes.
