Current practice in gravel resheets is listed in order of
life cycle cost ($/m2/yr) from lowest to highest. Also shown are the key variables
affecting life cycle cost identified in pilot council testing.
Details of the gravel material classification are shown in the
glossary.
Care
is to be taken in interpreting the best practice report as there are many
factors, which affect life cycle costs including availability and cost of gravel
materials, haul distance and modification of materials grading.
