Road & Infrastructure Maintenance
Routine maintenance is the regular on-going work that is necessary to keep our assets (roads & infrastructure) operating, including instances where portions of the asset fail and need immediate repair to make the asset operational again. Maintenance includes reactive, planned and specific maintenance work activities.
Maintenance activities include inspection, assessing the condition against failure/breakdown experience, prioritising, scheduling, actioning the work and reporting what was done to develop a maintenance history and improve maintenance and service delivery performance.
Road Classification Standards
The maintenance of roads, such as the re-construction or grading of roads is subject to Council’s Road Classification Standards. These standards prioritise or focus Council’s effort given Council’s limited resources. It is also important to ensure that money is spent on the roads the community needs the most.
The following road surface types exist within the standards:
o Township Seal (High Use & Standard Use)
o Township Sheeted
o Rural Class B Sheeted
o Rural Class C1 Sheeted
o Rural Class C2 Sheeted
o Rural Class C3 Sheeted
o Road Class C4 Sheeted
o Rural Class D Natural Formation
