During the Coopernook – Herons Creek Project, the Post Office directional signs were removed from the corner of Hannamvale Rd and the Pacific Highway, under the proviso that they would be replaced once the roadworks were completed. Since this time, we have contacted Australia Post, RTA, GTCC and Thiess, as well as our local members at the time (Peter Besseling and Rob Oakeshott) regarding the replacement and have been advised by GTCC that the RTA will not allow the signs to be replaced as they do not like to promote individual businesses by placing signs on the highway.

We would question this as the RTA happily advertise cafes and petrol stations, as well as local attractions, and are happy to have post office signage all along the highway except for in Moorland. We have written to the RTA to no response.

Why will the RTA not replace the existing signage as was the arrangement in place? We would also like to ask Leslie Williams to follow this up as our current local member and as a former licensee for Australia Post.
