Dear Sir /Madam the Day 3/7 /17 Was a Normal Wet Day for This Time of The LRRCSC - INQUIRY INTO VICROADS' MANAGEMENT OF COUNTRY ROADS SUBMISSION NO: 305 RECEIVED: 16 JAN 2018 Dear Sir /Madam The day 3/7 /17 was a normal wet day for this time of the year. I was returning a CF A fire truck to its location which is my occupation.I do this for a living.I was driving on the Penshurst Hawkesdale road at a speed between 90 to 95 kph which is the speed for this area and vehicle.I had just passed the Abbey Hills fire station when I approached a slight right bend in the road when the next thing the vehicle was aquaplaning side ways on the wet road not using the brake pedal and taking the foot off the throttle the vehicle went off the road and got caught in the soft mud and rolled land half times the truck ended up on its roof in a drain I did not panic releasing the set belt I was able to get out of the truck as there was no windscreen which had popped out.I was able to turn off ignition switch.Going to the side of the truck check for fuel leaks that was still sealed then check the back offthe truck and turned the back motor fuel tap off at the same time got on the phone made a phone call to the boss telling him what happened .The next thing a lady turned up in a car and called out to me asking if I was okay she had phoned all the emergency services she then called out to come over to the side of the road so that she could see if I was okay (she was a nurse) with in about 10 to 15 minutes a ambulance turned up I was checked over. I was able tell them what had happened I was then taken to the Warrnambool hospital for more test and checks. I was in hospital for 24 hours ( please note I have been on this road many times) I came out of this accident with only a seat belt bruising This road and many others in this area have real problems they are poorly maintained patch here patch there. This is not what should be done (if it was Melbourne it would be fixed properly) What we need is less talk more action We all pay fuel taxes and rates. We need to get back to what the road repairs used to be local shire yards which can maintained the areas that they located in (Please note vehicles are bigger heavier and more of them on these types of roads)Nearly all roads have grass growing up to edge of them how does water drain off.They also have ridges on the leftside where heavy vehicles have made deep wheel tracks causing road users to driving on the white line Hot days causing the tar to melt the rough surface disappears causing a smooth surface no grip which on a wet days causes problems (please note the surface was tested it have between 5 to 7% less grip than the centre of the road ) No speed signs have been put in place or any real work done in this area. This area has had a no of accidents in less than 2 years but not reported What we need here is more action before someone is killed.We need less talk more positive action and seen to be doing something about fixing the bad problem.Please also note I have been on this road again many times since my accident the road has no improvements Road accident victim Barry Smith Email Shire can't-slash it all INFRASTRUCTURE *Great Ocean Road.

  • 21.11 INFRASTRUCTURE Overview Transport Warrnambool Is
    WARRNAMBOOL PLANNING SCHEME 21.11 INFRASTRUCTURE 19/01/2006 VC37 Overview Transport Warrnambool is advantageously located on a National Highway Route, as well as the Hopkins Highway. Ready access is provided to the neighbouring centres of Portland, Hamilton, Colac, as well as Ballarat, Geelong and Melbourne, by a highway and main road network. Raglan Parade (Princes Highway) and Mortlake Road (Hopkins Highway) provide notable entrances to the Central Activities District. The City is connected to the state rail network, providing access to Camperdown, Colac, Geelong, Melbourne and beyond. West Coast Railway provides an excellent standard of public rail passenger transport. V/Line Freight and private transport companies provide rail freight services. Warrnambool City Council operates an aerodrome north of the City which is used for emergency air links, freight facilities for local producers, and has the potential to be developed for commuter service. Water & Sewerage The regional centre is serviced by reticulated water sourced from the Otway Ranges. The existing supply is reaching capacity and consideration should be given to an upgrade of infrastructure or alternative water sources within the next decade. The South West Water sewerage treatment system was recently upgraded and is able to meet the needs of the community for the foreseeable future. Community Services Warrnambool has an extensive range of education, community and health services which enhance the lifestyle of local residents. Private and public education facilities are available from pre-school to secondary college level. The South West Institute of TAFE is located within the town centre whilst the Warrnambool campus of Deakin University and associated student accommodation is located on the eastern outskirts of the City A comprehensive range of specialist medical and extended care services are present in Warrnambool, primarily at the Warrnambool and District Base Hospital, Lyndoch and St.

    CORANGAMITE HERITAGE STUDY STAGE 2 VOLUME 3 REVIEWED AND REVISED THEMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL HISTORY Prepared for Corangamite Shire Council Samantha Westbrooke Ray Tonkin 13 Richards Street 179 Spensley St Coburg 3058 Clifton Hill 3068 ph 03 9354 3451 ph 03 9029 3687 mob 0417 537 413 mob 0408 313 721 [email protected] [email protected] INTRODUCTION This report comprises Volume 3 of the Corangamite Heritage Study (Stage 2) 2013 (the Study). The purpose of the Study is to complete the identification, assessment and documentation of places of post-contact cultural significance within Corangamite Shire, excluding the town of Camperdown (the study area) and to make recommendations for their future conservation. This volume contains the Reviewed and Revised Thematic Environmental History. It should be read in conjunction with Volumes 1 & 2 of the Study, which contain the following: • Volume 1. Overview, Methodology & Recommendations • Volume 2. Citations for Precincts, Individual Places and Cultural Landscapes This document was reviewed and revised by Ray Tonkin and Samantha Westbrooke in July 2013 as part of the completion of the Corangamite Heritage Study, Stage 2. This was a task required by the brief for the Stage 2 study and was designed to ensure that the findings of the Stage 2 study were incorporated into the final version of the Thematic Environmental History. The revision largely amounts to the addition of material to supplement certain themes and the addition of further examples of places that illustrate those themes. There has also been a significant re-formatting of the document. Most of the original version was presented in a landscape format.
