| Increasingly, with the amalgamation of dairy farms within the shire, farmers are faced with a need to move cattle more effectively from property to property. Often this involves the installation of a cattle underpass to allow movement of stock underneath a public roadway.
The Wellington Shire Council supports the construction of cattle underpasses as a means of improving road safety and limiting damage to local roads and verges resulting from the regular movement of cattle across roadways. The Common Law rights of landowners to move stock along roadways, is recognised by the Council.
The location, design and construction of underpasses, must be approved by the Council.
Wellington Shire Council has established a policy in relation to installation of cattle underpasses which can be downloaded below.
