This committee is part of Council's strategy to have open lines of communication with stakeholders, and to be a responsive Local Government body, addressing issues in a pro-active, non-bureaucratic fashion. Input from people with local knowledge of specific problem areas allows Council to spend its limited funds in the very best way. It also lets residents have an input into where "Roads to Recovery" funding from the Commonwealth Government is used.

The committee consists of interested residents, staff and councillors and has input into issues such as:

• unsealed road grading practices and schedules;
• gravel resurfacing programs;
• other maintenance tasks e.g. drainage and vegetation maintenance
