This is done to improve traffic flow and safety by preventing random turns and crossings.\n\n**Which section of road:**\n- From the **Inglis River Bridge** (western side) to where **Montumana Road (East)** meets the highway — a total of **18.42 km**.\n- The exact boundaries are marked on official survey plans (Plans 4906, 4907, 4946, 4947, 4948 and 4949).\n\n**Where you CAN get on or off:**\nThe proclamation lists **21 specific access points** — mostly local roads like Pecks Road, Preolenna Road, Port Road, and Devils Elbow Road. Each entry specifies:\n- The road name\n- Which side of the highway (north or south)\n- How far along the highway it is (measured from the centre of the Inglis River Bridge)\n\n**Why this matters:**\n- **For drivers:** You cannot legally turn onto or off the Bass Highway in this section except at these 21 designated points. No U-turns, no crossing the median, no using farm tracks or informal access points.\n- **For property owners:** If your property doesn't have frontage to one of these 21 roads, you may lose direct access to the highway and need to use the designated points instead.\n- **For planners:** This formalises the highway's status for road management, development applications, and future infrastructure planning."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":3,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The proclamation designates a specified stretch of the Bass Highway as a limited‑access road and records authorised access points.
