Please be advised that due to safety concerns reported by the public, relating to Restricted Access Vehicle (RAV) Network vehicles using the intersections of Hind Road & West Boundary Road with Graphite Road within the Shire of Manjimup, Main Roads Heavy Vehicle Services has conducted necessary safety assessments.

The assessments verified the safety concerns, including the following:

• Non-compliant sight distances at both the intersections of Hind Road & West Boundary Road with Graphite Road.
• Non-compliant swept paths at both the intersections of Hind Road & West Boundary Road with Graphite Road.

As a result, Main Roads is removing the following RAV Network access from Hind Road, between Graphite Road & Ipsen Road and West Boundary Road, between Graphite Road & the Private Access Driveway, approximately 200m north of Ipsen Road.

• Tandem Drive Networks N2 to N3
• Tandem Drive AMMS Networks N2.1 to N3.1, N2.2 to N3.2 & N2.3 to N3.3
• Tri Drive Network TD1
• Tri Drive AMMS Networks TD1.1, TD1.2 & TD1.3
• Performance Based Scheme Tandem Drive Networks PBS1B.1, PBS1B.2 & PBS1B.3

Alternative access to West Boundary Road & Ipsen Road for the above RAV Networks continues to be available via Springall Road and South Western Highway.

Main Roads will implement the above changes on Wednesday 4 December 2024, which will be reflected in the relevant Road Tables and RAV Mapping Tool on our website from that date.
