As part of overarching work around reviewing the way Council manages unsealed roads within township boundaries, Council initiated a dust suppression trial in late November 2023 on three unsealed roads in Woodend.

This trial was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of using a dust suppression product, for mitigating dust emissions from unsealed roads within township areas. An interim report was tabled and considered at the March 2024 Council Meeting.

To help inform trial data and the final report back to Council, we invited feedback from residents who live along the roads trialled, to gather their sentiments towards the trial and their experiences.

For more information about the outcome of this survey, refer to Report AO.5 - Management of Unsealed Roads within Township Boundaries that was endorsed by Council at the 28 August 2024 Council Meeting.
