URBAN & RURAL ROAD MAINTENANCE

If elected I will ensure that our urban and rural road network is maintained strictly in accordance with Council’s own Road Management policy. I will be paying particular attention to the intervention levels in relation to road shoulders and pot hole repairs in the following manner;

  • Play particular attention to ensure that pot hole repairs are carried out in accordance with best practice as defined by the Australian Standards code of practice. This procedure can often be confused with trying to fill a maximum number of pot holes in a minimum amount of time.
  • Ensure there is no unreasonable drop off where the gravel shoulder meets the edge of the bitumen pavement, to ensure road safety and to protect the road pavement.
  • Ensure that all roadside drainage pits are cleaned on a regular basis.
  • I will also ensure there is a sufficient budget allocation to allow for this vital urban and rural road maintenance to be carried out in a year- long maintenance regime.
