Farraway, Sam to the Minister for Jobs and Tourism, Special Minister of State, Minister for Roads, Minister for the Arts, and Minister for Music and the Night-time Economy representing the Minister for Regional Transport and Roads
COMPACTION TEST RESULTS

(1) Can the Minister advise, what is the current standard Transport for NSW requires for compaction test results to comply with the sealing of regional roads?

(2) Has Transport for NSW reviewed any compaction tests in relation to the sealing of Pooncarie Road within the Central Darling Shire Local Government Area?

(a) If so, what are the results of the compaction test results?

(i) With regard to (1), do they meet the standard required for the sealing of regional roads?
Answer -

I am advised

Local councils determine requirements for road projects that are applicable to the road being serviced and the material being used. Transport for NSW has not published standards for compaction test results for use by local councils on their local and Regional roads. Transport for NSW’s standards are required for works on State-managed roads.

Transport for NSW, as part of the technical assistance being provided to Central Darling Shire Council, has reviewed the compaction test results and found them to be in accordance with the requirements determined by Council for its road sealing project.

The results of the compaction test are a matter for Central Darling Shire Council.
