Council has extended the period of community consultation, on its draft updated Road Management Plan (RMP), to allow extra time needed to provide appropriate notice in the Government Gazette.
Anyone who has already provided comments to Council on the RMP does not need to resubmit them.
Community feedback on Council's draft updated RMP will now be received until 5pm on Friday, 10 September.
The RMP details standards for the maintenance and upgrade of roads, footpaths, drains and other road-related assets.
The aim is to ensure the community gets a well-maintained road system while addressing social, safety, environmental and transport network concerns.
As a rural Council, Campaspe has an extensive road system to maintain. This is made up of approximately 1,100 kms of sealed roads, 2,050 kms of gravel roads, 500 kms of earth roads, 249 kms of footpaths, plus 69 bridges and major culverts, and 356 kms of kerb and channel.
The RMP helps Council to maintain these assets strategically and resourcefully by detailing the inspection regime, defect intervention levels and defect repair response times for all these assets, and just as importantly, how this can be achieved within current resources.
To view a copy of the draft RMP, visit Council's website www.campaspe.vic.gov.au/nowopen or a customer service centre. A quick online form is available to capture community comments.
