Community Wide Survey of potential projects/initiatives for the Tiaro Community Plan
Take this SurveyIn late 2019 Council was made aware that the Department had made a decision to progress with a highway bypass of Tiaro as the preferred option for the Tiaro Flood Immunity Project.
The Department completed preliminary investigations into options to improve flood immunity, and safety and efficiency on the Bruce Highway at Tiaro in 2019. Options assessed included:-
The Department’s assessment indicated that the bypass option represented better value for money, delivered more benefits, and had greater community support than the highway upgrade option.
A bypass will address flooding, safety and congestion concerns and reduce the cost of future upgrades to accommodate traffic growth. It will also remove a large portion of heavy vehicles from the Tiaro township, improving safety and liveability for residents.
