Notice of Proposed Road Closure – Carlton Hill Road
Notice is hereby given in accordance with section 58(3) of the Land Administration Act 1997 that the Shire of Wyndham East Kimberley is giving consideration to the permanent partial closure of a portion of Carlton Hill Road, Kununurra.
Carlton Hill Road is 29km in length, extending from Weaber Plain Road to Carlton Hill Station, and the portion proposed to be permanently closed is the last 18.5km which traverses through the Carlton Hill Pastoral Lease to Carlton Hill Station freehold property, as indicated on the plans provided.
The proposed closure has been requested by the landowner and pastoral lessee, Kimberley Agricultural Investments (KAI), with the intent that it will become a private road or access easement which will be maintained and managed by KAI. It is anticipated that agreement with other key stakeholders on Carlton Hill Road will be required to ensure access is permitted to communication towers, borrow pits and tourism.
