Residents are invited to provide feedback on Wyndham City’s Draft Road Management Plan 2025, which guides maintenance of close to $2.76 billion in transport assets such as roads, paths and bridges.
The Road Management Plan is reviewed every four years. It ensures the growing network of 1,773km local roads; 2,243km of paths and 187 bridges and culverts are safe and maintained to provide efficient travel throughout Wyndham.
It also sets the standard of Council’s road management responsibilities around inspections, maintenance and repairs with consideration of Council objectives, community expectations and available funding.
Wyndham City invests $9 million to deliver the commitments outlined in the Road Management Plan to ensure a transparent and consistent level of service across the municipality. This is additional to the investment we make in the reconstruction and upgrade of our road network.
For example, the plan specifies that Council will undertake repairs on all footpath defects greater than 20mm as a part of its footpath reinstatement program, and defects greater than 50mm will also receive temporary works to remove the trip hazard as soon as possible within 15 days. This ensures Council’s maintenance funding is directed to the most needed locations in a consistent and equitable manner in line with community expectations.
Wyndham City Mayor, Cr Mia Shaw said: “This important every day work of fixing pot holes, cracks and other maintenance issues is guided by our Road Management Plan, which creates a more connected, sustainable City.”
“Our residents acknowledged the condition and maintenance of Wyndham’s transport network as ‘very good’ in the recent Community Satisfaction Survey and we intend to keep satisfaction high with a robust Road Management Plan.”
