                                                        Standard signs:
                                                        - remove existing sign: $50

                                                        Craig Eldridge design coordinator road design NC indicates that these are
                                                        possible solutions. Allowance must be available for cyclists.


Cost estimates associated with recommendations for each of the regions are provided in Appendix E and
summarised in Table 24. Note that:

•      Culvert retrofit assumes both shelf and beam plus a refuge pole at either end
•      Maintenance costs were not obtained - Michael Lyons from Council indicated that his group could
       formulate a management plan and provide a cost estimate
