Road repairs and maintenance

Arterial (Main) roads

VicRoads is responsible for arterial (also known as Main) roads, highways and freeways.

These roads are shown in yellow and orange in Google Maps. VicRoads also has maps and a register of public roads that it maintains available on their website.

Local roads

Council is responsible for the white roads on Google Maps, if those roads appear on Council's Public Roads Register. 

White roads shown on Google maps that are not on the Public Roads Register may be:

• fire access tracks
• access for a small number of residents
• maintained by another road authority
• completely unmaintained tracks that are unsafe to travel on, or
• cross onto private property and not for general public access.

If you have any questions in regard to the status of a road please contact Council.

View Council's Public Road Register.

We undertake road maintenance works to ensure the road network is maintained to standards suitable for all users.

Unsealed roads are inspected regularly and faults are scheduled for repair. Sealed road maintenance works are completed as required.
