The details are incomplete in this extract, but this typically means government land becomes a public road.\n\n- **Schedule 2**: Declares a 1.24 km section of **Colebrook Main Road** to be a \"subsidiary road\" — a specific legal category under Tasmanian law that affects how the road is maintained and funded.\n\n- **Schedule 3**: Removes a different 1.39 km section of **Colebrook Main Road** from being a subsidiary road — meaning it loses that special status.\n\n- **Schedule 4**: Redefines the total length and route of **Colebrook Main Road** as 13.47 miles (21.67 km), running from near Cambridge to near Campania via Richmond.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n\n- Local councils and the Tasmanian Department of State Growth (who manage roads)\n- Residents and businesses along Colebrook Main Road in Richmond, Cambridge, and Campania areas\n- Anyone using these roads (though day-to-day driving won't change)\n\n**Why it matters:**\nRoad classification affects who pays for maintenance, who has legal responsibility for the road, and planning rules.
