Mitchell Shire Council has welcomed the Victorian Government's announcement of upcoming road maintenance works across the Shire.
As part of the 2025-26 Victorian Road Maintenance Program, the below road works are scheduled in Mitchell Shire:
- Epping - Kilmore Road between Kelby Lane and South Mountain Road at Wallan
- Epping - Kilmore Road between Caladenia Court and Broadford - Wandong Road at Heathcote Junction
- Northern Highway through Kilmore, Moranding and Pyalong
- Wallan - Kinglake Road in Wallan
- Hume Freeway at Waterford Park
These works will focus on repairing potholes, resurfacing worn pavements, and improving safety for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.
Council has been actively engaging with the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) to address key issues on arterial roads across the Shire, most recently with two Notices of Motion at the August Council meeting.
These called for repairs to potholes and deteriorating road surfaces, ensuring maintenance is completed in a timely manner, and improved rubbish removal and ongoing upkeep at township gateways and other key entry points.
