Residents are invited to provide feedback on Wyndham’s Draft Road Management Plan 2025, which guides maintenance of close to $2.76 billion in transport assets such as roads, paths and bridges.
The plan is renewed every four years, and is designed to ensure that much of the area’s transport infrastructure is maintained to provide efficient travel throughout Wyndham.
It also sets the standard of council’s road management responsibilities around inspections, maintenance and repairs with consideration of council objectives, community expectations and available funding.
Wyndham invests $9 million to deliver the commitments outlined in the Road Management Plan to ensure the process is transparent and work is done on a needs basis.
Council said as an example the plan specifies it has to undertake repairs on all footpath defects greater than 20mm, and when defects greater than 50mm are detected, the site will be cordoned off for 15 days to fix the trip hazard.
That process is done to ensure council’s maintenance funding is directed to the most needed locations in a consistent and equitable manner in line with community expectations.
Mayor Mia Shaw said this slice of the budget was an important spend.
“Our residents acknowledged the condition and maintenance of Wyndham’s transport network as ‘very good’ in the recent Community Satisfaction Survey and we intend to keep satisfaction high with a robust plan,” she said.
Feedback can be provided until September 24: https://theloop.wyndham.vic.gov.au/road-management-plan-2025
