Title: | Something Old, Something New: The Policing of Ordinances 30C and 30D of the NSW Local Government Act (1919) on a Group Council Basis | Contributor(s): | Glencross-Grant, Rex (author)![]() |

Following the good wheat harvest of 1978/79 Council again critically appraised the damage to timber bridges, of which it had some 41 on Main and Council roads. In view of an additional $40,000 damage caused to bridges alone, it was decided to seriously review the situation of vehicle overloading generally. Such a review was influenced by the following factors: • A dramatic land use change in the Gwydir Valley as a result of Copeton Dam water distribution and to a lesser extent the MacIntyre-Barwon Valley and resultant increase in grain and cotton production, • The then Grain Elevators Board (GEB) (subsequently the Grain Handling Authority, GHA) as a policy decision, installed 60 tonne weighbridges for wheat and other grain receivals at each of some 12 silos in the area, and • The fact that a two month wheat cartage season had extended to about a 10 month cartage season (of various commodities), coupled with increased livestock numbers at the large Moree Saleyards. | Publication Type: | Conference Publication | Conference Details: | LGEA 1983 Conference: NSW Local Government Engineers' Association Conference, Sydney, Australia, 21st - 25th March, 1983 | Source of Publication: | Presented at the NSW Local Government Engineers' Association (LGEA) Conference | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 090507 Transport Engineering 090505 Infrastructure Engineering and Asset Management |
