Draft Public Gate and Bypass(Grid) Policy

The community is encouraged to have their say onCouncil’s Draft Public Gate and Bypass (Grid) Policy.Public gates and bypasses (cattle grids) have existedon the Shire’s roads for many years without formalapproval. The Draft Policy seeks to both formalise theapproval of these structures and inform public gate andby-pass owners of their obligations and responsibilitiesunder the Roads Act 1993 and the Roads (General)Regulation 2008.Under the provisions of the Roads Act and the Roads(General) Regulation the occupier of the land benefitingfrom the gate and bypass is responsible for the maintenance of the structures, the road 20 metreseither side of the gate and associated signposting.Also, public gates and bypasses cannot be erectedwithout the issue of a Permit by Council.Under the Draft Policy, all landowners who have a public road passing through their property with stockgrids installed either on the boundary of the property orwithin the property will be required to bring the structureto a safe standard. Council will write to the owners totake action where a safety concern is identified. Landowners whose properties are not fenced along theroad reserve must also ensure that their public liabilityinsurance is extended to cover the public gate and thebypass, along the road, 20 metres either side.To view the Draft Policy, please visit Council’s website:www.upperlachlan.nsw.gov.auSubmissions should be made in writing to: GaryWoodman, Acting General Manager, PO Box 42,Gunning NSW 2581 by 4.00pm on Thursday, 9 August2018.
