With the just-released 15 year roadmap of reforms from Infrastructure Australia heavily emphasising sustainability and resilience, now is the right time for regional and remote councils to apply new thinking to old problems.
It’s time to end reliance on traditional road making methods and adopt new and economically sustainable ways.
Rural roads need to be re-thought too.
The expensive and environmentally destructive practice of quarrying new materials and transporting them for miles causing further degradation to already deteriorating roads is a serious waste of grant money and councils’ rates when cheaper and better methods exist.
PolyCom is an exciting alternative to traditional road construction material.
By recycling and reusing existing, in situ materials, and blending with PolyCom Stabilising Aid, the need to use new material is eliminated.
Previously unworkable material can be treated on site.
Quarries become redundant. Heavy, road destroying, haulage trucks are no longer needed.
Wasting grant money on needlessly expensive methods ‘because that’s how we’ve always done it’ is no longer justifiable to ratepayers.
The future is here and now with environment and OH&S compliant PolyCom Stabilising Aid.
