Dust suppression is a process used to restrict airborne dust particles.
Eco sealing
Since 2008 Council has been applying eco seal to 100m sections of gravel roads where there is a house located within 100m of a gravel road as a dust suppressant.
Eco seal is a low cost type of seal which is more environmentally friendly and lasts longer than oil. Eco seals are applied to a 100m length of road when the road is re-gravelled.
Note the use of oil as a dust suppressant has now been phased out by Council.
