Alpine Shire Council is proposing a road deviation and land exchange within freehold land in the Bright Valley Development.
Community members' feedback on the proposal to deviate an unused government road traversing through freehold land within the development and the subsequent land exchange closed yesterday.
The reason for the proposed deviation is to improve the connection angle at the Great Alpine Road intersection and avoid various constraints preventing the construction of a road within the existing road reserve, notably the gradient at several points along the reserve.
Council says the deviation will importantly avoid the removal of native vegetation at the southern end of the reserve and will have no impact on the trees along the Great Alpine Road.
