Published on Tuesday, 7 July 2026 at 1:21:00 PM

The proposal to extend the closure of Morts Road until April 2029, along with a revised road alignment, has not been supported following community consultation and Council consideration.

Community feedback highlighted mixed views, with some residents recognising potential safety improvements and reduced truck movements, while others expressed concern regarding continued access restriction to Tullis Bridge.

This outcome reinforces the importance of maintaining community access while carefully balancing infrastructure, safety and industry needs within the district.
