"While works continue in these areas, I strongly urge residents to exhibit caution and adhere to signposted changes to traffic conditions."

Cr Thomspon said that it was common for Council to receive requests from the community regarding changes to speed limits across the region.

"While Council appreciates the community acting proactively with regard to their safety concerns, local Councils are not delegated to change speed restrictions on any public road.

"This remains the responsibility of the Roads and Maritime Services and while Council will respond in all instances to acknowledge receipt of the correspondence, any such request made to Council must be forwarded directly to the RMS for their review and comment."
