At Council's June meeting the Draft 2021 Road Management Plan was adopted to be released for community consultation.
Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor, Cr Chris Raeburn, said this was an important document for our community as it outlines the way Council maintains its extensive road network.
"We know the upkeep of our roads is essential to our community," Cr Raeburn said.
"With about 748km of sealed roads and more than 1357km of unsealed roads - it's a tough job."
