Bright: Upcoming Roadline Harvest – Clear Spot Road Area
July 15, 2024
We are working in the Clear Spot Road area of Bright.
HVP Plantations wish to advise of forest operations in the Clear Spot Road area of Bright during July 2024.
Roadworks, earthworks, tree harvesting
Part of the plantation around Clear Spot Road in Bright (see map in attached link) is planned to be road line harvested and will be closed for part of July.
The current crop of trees were planted in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and is ready to be converted into sawn timber and other building and paper products. Please visit our website www.hvp.com.au for further information about the plantation lifecycle and the range of HVP operations.
Safety
Safety is HVP’s highest priority. Please note the following:
• Forest operations worksites are closed to all public access (vehicles, pedestrians, and riders) for the duration of operations. This includes when the crew is not present.
• Worksites are hazardous, and risks to people’s safety are not always obvious. Some of the dangers are falling trees, dislodged rocks and machines with very limited visibility.
• Be aware of increased heavy vehicle traffic and machinery in the area.
Thank you for following the directions of all signage and forest operators.
Log transport
Our drivers will transport the plantation logs from the worksite to HVP’s customers in Myrtleford, Wangaratta, Benalla, and regional NSW.
This will commence early July and will continue through July.
Drivers are committed to safely sharing the road with other users. GPS technology tracks speed and professional driving standards. For community safety, trucks will travel slowly and steadily – including in the vicinity of Bright P-12 College, residences and businesses. For everyone’s safety, do not overtake trucks in this local neighbourhood.
The transport route may include:
Bakers Gully Rd, Ireland St, Anderson St, Gavan St, Great Alpine Rd
Bakers Gully Rd, Park St, Coronation Ave, Churchill Ave, Delany Ave, Gavan St, Great Alpine Rd
