The current allowable combination width available in the area under notice is 7.5m width. - Sealed pavement reaching end of useful life with a condition rating of 5 (Very poor) and the wearing surface seal is under width at 5.4m on a road network hierarchy target of 7m. Segments 2 and 3 of Howards Road newer pavements sealed to 7m. - Potential stacking distance issue for large heavy vehicles between rail crossing and Goldfields Way. - Howards road facilitates access to a major piggery on the intersection of Howards and Speirs Road with Howards road being the only sealed road access to the site.

-Traffic, Safety, Environmental and Quality Management. • Clearing and grubbing of vegetation for formation widening (3840m x 4m) • Formation widening from existing 8m formation width to 10m formation width.
