The deterioration has been caused by heavy trucks travelling to and from a privately owned property where a large dam is being constructed under a Melbourne Water permit. Under the conditions of the approved Traffic Management Plan, any damage caused must be repaired.
Council is working with the property owner, their contractor, and Melbourne Water to ensure urgent repairs are completed and that those responsible meet their obligations. Our priority is to restore the road and minimise disruptions for residents and local traffic. While current laws do not allow us to restrict truck access to Grants Road, we are ensuring the responsible parties carry out all necessary repairs promptly and safely.
