THE YARRA Ranges Council has quickly replaced an incorrectly spelt street sign that stood for more than two weeks in Healesville.
Healesville resident Kath Wilson emailed the Mail last week with a photo of the sign at the intersection of Hunter Road and McGrettons Road.
Only, one of the roads was incorrectly labelled “McGrettan” Road on the sign, which was erected on 19 January.
“No wonder a courier delivery found it hard to find my house today,” she wrote.
Yarra Ranges Council’s manager of Infrastructure Services said the sign was incorrectly spelt by a council contractor, and was replaced on Thursday 5 February.
Mr McGann said the contractor and residents reported the error to the council the day after, and a new sign was ordered “immediately”.
“The contractor made a typing error on the sign that was forwarded to the sign manufacturer,” he said.
Though the road signs cost about $150 apiece, Mr McGann said the council was not out-of-pocket, with the contractor taking on the extra cost.
