Seal Mathews Lane for community safety
The issue
The residents of Mathews Lane in Bungendore are alarmed by the road’s rapid deterioration. In just six months, it’s become dangerously potholed and corrugated — posing serious risks to vehicles, pedestrians, and farm traffic.
If this is the state after six months, what will it look like in another 12? The 18-month grading cycle is clearly inadequate, and the recent repairs have failed. This calls into question both the quality of the work and the road’s Category 7 classification.
The only viable solution is to seal Mathews Lane. Temporary fixes are ineffective, damage vehicles, and waste public money. A sealed road would ensure safety, reduce long-term costs, and protect the community’s infrastructure.
We urge Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council to make sealing Mathews Lane a priority.
Sign this petition to demand action and a safer road for our community.
