RMP and Road Register adopted

The updated Road Management Plan and Road Register was adopted by Council on 16 July 2024, following a review of all feedback. We’re grateful to everyone who contributed.

Key changes to the RMP include making road inspections more frequent and lowering the threshold for footpath repairs. Unsealed road grading remains a key focus with a targeted maintenance approach centred around addressing the factors that impact the condition and road geography.

The Road Register has been updated to include more than 17km of additional roads. Council will maintain these roads according to the RMP requirements for inspection and maintenance.

Council is now responsible for 263 km of sealed road, 585 km of unsealed road, 110km of pathways and 57 bridges. This includes concrete kerb and channel (gutters) and many culverts to help direct stormwater away from roads.

Participants also requested that Council seal more currently unsealed roads. Our Township Sealing Program, started in 2023, will upgrade unsealed roads in urban areas each year.

The final adopted documents and a report to Council on community feedback and responses are available to view on this page.
