Roads

In rural areas, VicRoads maintain the arterial roads and the full width of the road reserve from property line to property line. Generally, all other local sealed roads are managed by Council.

Heavy vehicle network maps including roads assessed for heavy vehicle access are on the VicRoads website.

Council endeavours to keep our roads open at all times however for public safety reasons roads do need to be closed in certain situations. Council publishes planned works and road closures in public notices and media releases.

Unsealed roads require ongoing maintenance and are regularly inspected, graded and/or resheeted by our Works Unit. High traffic areas require extra maintenance as they deteriorate at an increased rate.

Not all unsealed roads within our shire are managed by Council, as there are also forest roads under State Government ownership.

Raised dust from unsealed roads can be annoying and inconvenient for affected residents and businesses. Read about how you can reduce dust from unsealed roads.
