You may have already been filled in by our Engineering Designer Stephen Fowler but compared to the original $1m offer from the RMS, Stephen Fowler prepared a “bush fire trail” design which met the requirements of the RFS for access by a Category 1 fire tanker.  This design was costed at $1.5m.  I gather the RMS at Grafton are supportive of the design but the advice is the increased cost may get knocked back by RMS Head Office.  We are still awaiting a formal response to our application for Stephen’s design to be approved for construction.
