Avoca’s wine barrel signposts welcoming visitors at the southern end of the town have been identified as a safety hazard, beginning to fall apart and deemed no longer fit for purpose.
In a statement released last week, the Pyrenees Shire Council announced its plan to remove the set of barrels placed on the northern side of the Pyrenees Highway following safety concerns posed by one of the barrels which is currently on a lean.
The council added that there were no plans to replace them in the near future.
In other maintenance works, the banner poles in Avoca will also be removed shortly due to the prohibitive cost of installing banners on these poles.
Any plans to install banner poles or promotional structures to replace these will be subject to community consultation and funding according to the council.
