WRF is progressing a proposal to allow 36.5 m temperature controlled vehicles down Greenmount hill.

Members have raised concerns the following the closure of the De Grey river rest area (not a truck rest area), caravaners have moved into truck rest areas further along the highway, crowding out trucks wishing to use the rest areas. WRF is pursuing options with Main Roads.
