Mid North Coast - Weight of Loads

Last modified 7 October 2009

Protect and Prolong the Life of our Roads
The Mid North Weight of Loads Group works in cooperation with the New South Wales Road and Traffic Authority to protect and prolong the life of our roads by reducing the incidence of overloaded vehicles.

The Group comprises the New South Wales Local Government Councils of:

Armidale/Dumaresq	Liverpool Plains Shire
Bellingen Shire	Muswellbrook Shire
Coffs Harbour City	Nambucca Shire
Dungog Shire	Port Macquarie / Hastings
Gloucester Shire	Tamworth Regional
Great Lakes	Upper Hunter Shire
Greater Taree City	Uralla Shire
Guyra Shire	Walcha
Kempsey Shire

Although the Group issues breaches for overloading, its major focus is on education which will assist truck operators in making sure their loads are legal and are not causing damage to roads.  A part of the Group's education program, inspectors offer truck weighing on request and give advice on proper loading.

Further information regarding fines, weighing procedures, limtis and an information brochure can be found on the group's website Mid North Weight of Loads Group.
