Maintenance
Rural roadside maintenance
Rural roadside maintenance has an annual program scheduled to occur during the spring and summer growth period. We may need to alter schedules at times for a number of reasons, including responding to seasonal vegetation growth or prioritising higher risk areas.
Potholes
We have a regular pothole inspection and repair schedule throughout the city. This involves inspecting every road segment. All faults are marked on site, the number of faults recorded and a works order raised for the repairs. A crew then fixes all potholes on a suburb by suburb basis. Some faults require excavation and reinstatement, these repair are subject to machinery availability.
If you see a roadside that needs maintenance, please call us on 03 6217 9500.

You can assist to limit vandalism by reporting to Police any act of vandalism you see occurring and by reporting any damage to council property by calling us on 03 6217 9500.
