Coonamble Shire Council advises the travelling public that ALL UNSEALED ROADS are currently CLOSED to all non-essential traffic due to wet conditions.

🚜 Primary producers are requested to postpone the movement of heavy vehicles until unsealed sections between properties and the sealed road network have thoroughly dried out.

⚠️ Road users are reminded:
• Travelling on water-covered roads is extremely dangerous and should be avoided
• Road conditions can change without warning — if roads are open, please drive with caution
• Unsealed roads are easily damaged when wet
• Drivers may be liable for damage caused to closed roads and could void their vehicle insurance
• Repairs to damaged roads generally cannot begin until roads and gravel stockpiles dry out
• Council prioritises repairs, with higher traffic roads usually repaired first

🚑 Emergency vehicles responding to legitimate emergencies are exempt from this directive.

Council staff will continue inspecting roads throughout and following the rain event, with updated road condition advice provided as conditions change.

🤔 Ever heard of informal bus stops? 🚍

🌾 In rural and regional areas, school children may be dropped off and picked up at temporary bus stops that don't have any signage or infrastructure - they're often just the end of a driveway or residence 🚏

🚗 When driving on country roads remember to keep a look out for children who may be waiting for their bus or crossing the road to get to their stop 🚸

If your child gets the bus from an informal stop, accompany them if you can and hold their hand when crossing the road. If they're old enough, have a conversation with them about how to cross safely ✅
