Road management plan for Moyne
MOYNE Shire Council has endorsed a motion to seek community feedback on its 2025 Road Management Plan (RMP).
The purpose of the RMP is to ensure council meets the requirements of the state government’s Road Management Act (Regulations) 2016, and to make clear which roads are managed by Moyne Shire.
Mayor Cr Karen Foster said council had also published its Register of Public Roads in conjunction with the RMP as they must be read together.
“The register records road names and locality, dates on which they were declared, and the classification of the roads and how they will be managed in association with other road authorities,” Cr Foster said.
“These are important documents that have an impact on daily life for all our road users. We do encourage community, visitor and industry feedback to the plan.
“The plan establishes a systematic way in which we manage our roads, in addition to community feedback.”
Cr Foster said a key purpose of the RMP was to establish performance standards around road inspections and repairs, and to clarify which bodies were responsible for each of the roads in the shire.
“It helps us consider affordability, available resources and risk management when planning how we look after our roads,” Cr Foster said.
“As required under the regulations, we have set achievable standards to meet road users’ needs and our community’s reasonable expectations of day-to-day maintenance.”
Council will make the plan available for viewing and public comment, with notification to the community via newspapers, local newsletters and social media.
