The Council has endorsed an exciting new project to showcase Boddington's local history by relocating and displaying the historic roller. The roller will be moved to a public-facing location on the east side of the Old Roads Board building. A protective shelter will be constructed, and interpretive signage will be installed to provide visitors with insights into the roller's role in local roadworks history.
Project highlights include:
-
The roller and the existing grader will both undergo a restoration.
-
A custom-designed shelter matching the heritage style of the Roads Board building will protect the roller from the elements.
-
Accessible pathways will ensure all can enjoy the display.
-
Informative signage will share the roller’s story.
This project celebrates Boddingtons rich history and provides a new point of interest for residents and tourists.
