Georges River Council is conducting two key infrastructure assessments to improve the safety, connectivity, and long-term maintenance of local roads and footpaths.
Council recently performed a detailed survey of its 393km sealed road network, focusing on traffic facility asset collection. This survey was carried out by Infrastructure Management Group, using camera-equipped, transporter-style vehicles.
From Monday 12 May 2025, Council will begin a week-long inspection of its 519km footpath network. This survey, also managed by Infrastructure Management Group, will use quad bike-style vehicles operated by certified pavement inspectors. The vehicles will move at a brisk walking pace along public footways, yielding to pedestrians where possible, and will be clearly identifiable with safety lighting.
During these assessments, all cameras are focused on the road and footpath surface structure, with limited viewing of adjacent areas, and no image recordings of commercial, residential, private properties, or structures will be undertaken.
Georges River Council Mayor Elise Borg said, "This initiative is part of our commitment to providing safe and accessible pathways for all pedestrians.
"These surveys are vital for the long-term maintenance and safety of our roads and footpaths, and we are grateful for the community's support and cooperation during these infrastructure assessments."
