Council will renew, rehabilitate and repair 4 local roads across 4 townships under the 2023-24 Road Renewal Program.
In 2023–24, Council plans to rehabilitate 3.8 kilometres of the existing road network.
In 2022-2023, Council has worked to rehabilitate, repair, and reconstruct 4.7kms of its existing roads network that were in poor condition.
Road renewal works or rehabilitation is a full rebuilding of the road pavement. We do these works when the road pavement has lost its strength and can no longer be repaired.
This may be due to the road’s age or heavy usage. It may have potholes, rutting, cracking, and other issues.
The old road material is dug out and either reused on the same project or another suitable project. A combination of new and recycled material is then used to build a new road pavement, starting with the layers under the surface and finishing off with the black top surface.
We may rehabilitate sections of a road or the entire road, depending on what’s needed.
