12 INFRASTRUCTURE DEPARTMENT The following items are submitted for consideration - 12.1 Wheeo Road and Peelwood Road School Bus Routes 298 12.2 Bridge maintenance works in 2019/2020 Operational Plan 326 Ordinary Meeting held on 19 September 2019 Page 297 Infrastructure Department - 19 September 2019 ITEM 12.1 Wheeo Road and Peelwood Road School Bus Routes FILE REFERENCE I19/624 AUTHOR Road Safety, Traffic and Assets Officer ISSUE Safety concerns related to school bus raised in Council meeting (min 139/19). RECOMMENDATION That - 1. Council undertake sealing work on Wheeo Road to minimise safety issues as this road is the main connection between Grabben Gullen Road (MR52) and Boorowa Road (MR248); 2. Council lodge a funding application for the sealing of the unsealed section of Peelwood Road from Phils River to Peelwood Village. BACKGROUND Council resolved to investigate safety concerns related to school bus runs through Wheeo Road and Peelwood Road (min 139/19). Both roads have been inspected on 25 July 2019 and 26 July 2019 respectively, as per the Council resolution. Wheeo Road was inspected from Grabben Gullen Road to Boorowa Road, with Peelwood Road inspected from Laggan Road to Cooksvale Road. This report outlines the outcome of the two site investigations. REPORT This report addresses the safety concerns related to school bus routes on Wheeo Road and Peelwood Road. Please see attached the two reports for further details of site inspection investigations as Attachment 1 and Attachment 2. The sealing of the unsealed section of Peelwood Road may require up to $18m and therefore unlikely to receive funding in the near future. -

Concrete Slab and Arch Bridges 101 Masonry Bridges Heritage Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW 2005 1 Historical Overview of Bridge Types in NSW: Extract from the Study of Masonry Bridges in NSW HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO MASONRY BRIDGES IN NSW 1.1 History of early bridges constructed in NSW Bridges constructed prior to the 1830s were relatively simple forms. The majority of these were timber structures, with the occasional use of stone piers. The first bridge constructed in NSW was built in 1788. The bridge was a simple timber bridge constructed over the Tank Stream, near what is today the intersection of George and Bridge Streets in the Central Business District of Sydney. Soon after it was washed away and needed to be replaced. The first "permanent" bridge in NSW was this bridge's successor. This was a masonry and timber arch bridge with a span of 24 feet erected in 1803 (Figure 1.1). However this was not a triumph of colonial bridge engineering, as it collapsed after only three years' service. It took a further five years for the bridge to be rebuilt in an improved form. The contractor who undertook this work received payment of 660 gallons of spirits, this being an alternative currency in the Colony at the time (Main Roads, 1950: 37) Figure 1.1 “View of Sydney from The Rocks, 1803”, by John Lancashire (Dixson Galleries, SLNSW). -

Chapter 18: Lachlan River Catchment
18 Lachlan River Catchment Maitland Mercury & Hunter River Advertiser, 5 April 1862 True Tales of the Trout Cod: River Histories of the Murray-Darling Basin 18-1 The Lachlan (From the Empire’s Correspondent) March 30 – The continued absence of rain causing stoppage of the puddling machines for want of water, is the sole reason of the small escort leaving tomorrow. As before stated, the river, one mile distant, is tabooed for washing purposes to the last dregs, so that the returns per escort will diminish until we are blessed with the winter’s rain. Great quantities of fish have this week been picked up by hand out of the bed of the lagoon between the Victoria and Caledonian loads, some of the codfish weighing over 30 pounds weight, besides bream, perch and jewfish, the latter being one of the oddest of the finny tribe, presenting the appearance of half newt, with porpoise head and feelers round the mouth. This fish deposits its ova in a gravelly cell on the bottom using stones of upwards of a pound weight in their construction (as a blackfellow asserts). Certain it is that little mounds, of beehive form, abound in this lagoon, containing gravel.
