WHITTLESEA: Road Plan updated
The City of Whittlesea has endorsed its updated Road Management Plan.
The Plan provides a clear framework for how Council manages and maintains more than 1497 kilometres of Council roads. It also covers 2809 kilometres of pathways, 124 bridges and 2403 kilometres of kerb and channel.
The Plan sets the standards for road maintenance and outlines how Council responds to potholes, overgrown vegetation and dumped rubbish on roads, as well as cracked pavement, and other road and footpath faults. It details how often inspections are carried out and the response times for repairs on our roads.
A representative said that the City of Whittlesea Road Management Plan ensures that:
• a safe and efficient network of municipal roads is provided
•n road assets are managed to meet community needs and expectations
• asset data is used to guide maintenance and long-term planning aligned with Whittlesea 2040: A Place For All and Council’s Asset Plan
n maintenance, inspection and servicing levels are consistent and appropriate.
Mayor, Cr Martin Taylor (pictured), said: “Our road network is an important part of our community. The Road Management Plan helps us take care of our roads, paths, and related infrastructure in a clear and responsible way.”
