Review the draft plan
Council’s Road Management Plan has been prepared in accordance with the Road Management Act 2004 to document the methods and systems used by council in managing the local road and footpath network. It outlines council’s commitment to providing a safe local road and pathway network for use by all members of the community and follows the strategic four-year direction set out in the relevant Council Plan, Financial Plan and Asset Plan materials.
Council is the responsible authority for an extensive network of 3,368km of the local road network that consists of 833km of sealed roads, 2,086km of unsealed roads and 449km of formed/track roads. Within the road network are also 140 bridges and 279 major culverts. In addition, council also maintains 121km of footpath network, a drainage network of 158km of kerb and channel, 76km of drainage pipes, 2,700 drainage pits and 58,851m2 of car parks.
