access is also aided with the sail. When used with other forms of sun protection, such as clothing, hats, sunglasses and sunscreen, shade becomes an even more powerful method of skin cancer prevention.

We were grateful to the Shire for the grant we received to enable us to fence the playground to ensure it was safe from the passing traffic on the oval area, and now we need to provide further incentive for it to be used, not only on match days but also by the locals in the area.

The benefits of shade sail coverage are obvious and well recognized. With the sail providing temperature control and complete protection from the harmful UV rays. All weather

Weir and Reedy Lake Roads weight reduction limit

As Chief Executive Officer Strathbogie Shire Council please be advised that under Clause 12 (2) (of Schedule 11) of the Local Government Act 1989, I am placing a temporary restriction (under delegation) to limit the use of Weir Road/Reedy Lake Road Kirwan’s Bridge to vehicles up to a maximum weight of no greater than 5 tonnes. This restriction will remain in force effective from 8 May 2023 until September 2023 when the scheduled road upgrade works will commence.

This will ensure that heavy vehicles must take alternate routes during the winter months to maintain the integrity of the unsealed road surface thereby providing a viable access route for Kirwans Bridge residents, school buses, emergency vehicles, local farming properties and other associated community use.
