Providing a Well-Maintained Road Network
Aim of the program
Maintain the existing road and bridge network in a safe and serviceable condition while maximising asset life and minimising whole-of-life costs.
About the program
The program covers the maintenance of all road, bridge and ancillary assets, road verges and reserves. Works include routine and periodic maintenance and reconstruction when the primary reason for maintenance is pavement failure.
Target 90%
Community satisfaction with road maintenance is within target with a small decrease from last year
Target 85%
Our preventative and proactive maintenance indicator met target
Target $7,900
Average cost of network maintenance per lane-kilometre of road network is within target and higher than estimated
