GOLDEN Plains Shire Council is seeking community feedback on its Road Management Plan for 2025-2029.<\/p>\n

The plan aims to establish a system for road management functions and to set a performance standard for Golden Plains Shire’s road management functions.<\/p>\n

It further identifies responsibilities and maintenance standards and inspection regimes for all road assets within council’s control.<\/p>\n

The plan was endorsed for public submissions at the council’s 27 May meeting.<\/p>\n

It followed a comprehensive internal review focusing on road assets, intervention standards, heavy vehicle usage, roadside use and responsibilities, road grading and the hierarchy of roads in line with state-wide regulations.<\/p>\n

Golden Plains Shire mayor Cr Owen Sharkey said the plan established clear standards in terms of how road conditions are to be managed.<\/p>\n

“The review of the Road Management Plan has been completed with the primary intent of minimising risks associated with the management of the road network,” he said.<\/p>\n

“This review has focused on the responsible budgeting of road maintenance, while maximising road network safety for all users.<\/p>\n

“We encourage residents to view and read this document on council’s website, and to provide any submissions or feedback over the next four weeks.”<\/p>\n

The plan is available for public exhibition and community feedback until close of business on Thursday 26 June.<\/p>\n

Residents can provide feedback online at goldenplains.vic.gov.au\/consultations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hard copy submissions can also be completed at council’s customer hubs at 2 Pope Street, Bannockburn or 19 Heales Street, Smythesdale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
