Last year I moved a motion that Council consider the use of a dirt road stabilising product called Poly Com to see if it makes the difference that the company claims i.e. less maintenance and a longer life on the grading.
The Clyde Ridge Mountain Road is a classic dirt road that has three owners, Shoalhaven City Council, National Parks and Forestry NSW. No one wants to pay for the others maintenance but the road is a major tourist route as people us it to access Didthol / Pigeon House mountain. council negotiated an outcome with the other parties and the PolyCom trial is to take place on 1klm of this rutted out road. the 2klms looks good shame about the rest though as it still feels like your teeth are falling out the ridges are so bad.
I really hope that the PolyCom application works for maybe it will free up some extra maintenance money to do a bit more of this road up in the future.
