Annual sealed road renewal program

The project involves the resurfacing of various asphalt roads within the municipality through Council’s Annual Sealed Road Renewal Program.

Council is committed to delivering safe road infrastructure to the community in a financially responsible manner.  As part of this commitment.  Council undertakes an annual asphalt resurfacing program through its Capital Works Program to maximise the useful life of road-based assets, and to maintain the best possible condition of roads throughout their life cycle.

This program will provide newly surfaced roads that will extend the useful life of those assets and provide a road surface that is safe for road users to travel on.  By extending the life of the asset we extend the amount of time before a full reconstruction is required, thus spending less money on the assets in the long term.

For more information and a list of sites that will be completed as part of the program visit our Annual Sealed Road Resurfacing Works webpage.
