How we're improving the way we manage roads

Big changes are happening

• We’re investing $25 million into building more sealed roads across the shire, via our Strategic Sealed Roads Project. 
• We’re supporting the Federal Government to deliver the Hills’ Road Sealing Project. This project will benefit townships including Avonsleigh, Beaconsfield, Beaconsfield Upper, Cockatoo, Dewhurst, Emerald, Gembrook, Guys Hill, Nar Nar Goon North and Pakenham Upper.
• We’re directing more resources to maintenance so we can respond to issues more quickly.
• As summer is particularly tough on unsealed roads, we’re now doing extra works in the lead up to, and during, summer  
• We've recently created a new data-driven system that uses existing data to better predict how often each road should have works done.
• We’ve started trialling a range of new practices to maintain our unsealed road network, to improve the performance of the roads between maintenance activities. 
• We’re doing a full review of our unsealed road maintenance program, as part of the Unsealed Roads Transformation Project.
•  We’ve created a better form for reporting road issues. It gets the right information from you first time, so we can respond to your report more quickly.
