9 Information Brochure
An information brochure developed for community members will assist with increasing community
awareness and appreciation of road values. Information brochures represent a rapid form of
information dissemination, and can provide information on the importance and values of roadside
environments, the need for appropriate and balanced road management, and the legislative obligations
of roadside authorities managing roads. They can also direct readers to where they can seek more
information, should they have a desire to learn more about the management of roadside environments.
Through an information brochure, HCC will be able to promote awareness of the major management
issues along roads. Further, HCC will be able to inform the community of the benefits of well-managed
roadside environments. This may lead to a decrease in the collection of firewood, wildflowers or bush
rock by the community, which may in turn lead to an improvement or maintenance of fauna habitat.
An information brochure outlining the values and roles of roads, the need to manage roads
appropriately, and other information is provided below. HCC should distribute this information brochure
to all Council members, other roadsides managers, and the community.
