Roads Project Updates

We conduct regular routine inspections on our local network and investigate problems and requests reported by the community. The routine inspections are conducted by our road stewards who drive and walk the assigned inspection routes. The stewards identify, measure and record defects in accordance with our intervention levels. These defects are then recorded in our asset management system.  This provides a measure of the condition of each road, which can be used to establish our routine maintenance and capital work requirements. Through the collation of defect data, programs are then created with consideration of risk, road hierarchy and resources.
