Statement attributable to City of Ballarat Director Infrastructure and Environment, Bridget Wetherall

The fleet of high-tech quad bikes that are currently visible in Ballarat are collecting footpath condition data. 

The contractor, Infrastructure Management Group, is using its specialist engineering equipment and high-definition camera systems to gather the data, which is vital in developing footpath asset maintenance and renewal programs into the future. 

The survey started in mid-November and is expected to finish before Christmas.
