Rebuilding and maintaining sealed roads

Key points

More than $48 million is being invested in building, improving, and maintaining the roads with Cardinia Shire in 2023-24

Council manages 810 kilometres of sealed local roads.
We maintain sealed roads via our Renewal, Resurfacing and Drainage Works programs.
Find out how we plan our roadworks.

Road Pavement Renewal Program

We’re working to upgrade and maintain our existing road network with our annual Road Pavement Renewal Program, which will see 4.5km of road rehabilitated across 4 townships.

Works are now underway on the 2024-25 Road Renewal Program.

In 2023–24, Council worked to rehabilitate, repair, and reconstruct 3.8km of the existing road network.

Why we do road renewal works

Road renewal works or rehabilitation is a full rebuilding of the road pavement. We do these works when the road pavement has lost its strength.
This may be due to the road’s age or heavy usage. It may have potholes, rutting, cracking, and other issues.
We may rehabilitate sections of a road or the entire road, depending on what’s needed.

What renewal works involve

The old road material is dug out and either reused on the same project or another suitable project. A combination of new and recycled material is then used to build a new road pavement, starting with the layers under the surface and finishing off with the black top surface.

Renewal works we’re doing

These works are part of the 2024–25 annual works program:

Township or suburb	Road name	Section of road
Bunyip	Bunyip Modella Rd	Splitter Nar Nar Goon-Longwarry Rd to 45m West of Bunyip Modella Rd Bridge
Cardinia	Dalmore Rd	Ballarto Rd to Driveway at Number 730
Nar Nar Goon	Seven Mile Rd	Home Rd to Bald Hill Rd
Officer	Officer Rd	Brown Rd Intersection to Peterson Rd (South End)

Sealed Road Resurfacing Program

To help maintain our local roads, Council is resurfacing and resealing over 30kms of its existing road network in 2024-25.

Over 110 road segments across 22 townships have been prioritised as part of the annual 2024-25 program.

Depending on the road and its condition, treatments may include spray sealing or asphalt works.

Why we resurface roads

Resurfacing works are proactive works to help prevent water damage to the road.
Resurfacing at the right time may reduce pavement defects such as potholes, and prevent additional, expensive pavement rehabilitation works to be needed in the future.
Resurfacing works help prolong the life of the road.
Most types of road resurfacing works are done in the warmer months of the year.

What resurfacing works involve

We put a fresh layer over the top layer of the road, using either:

asphalt: a bitumen-based concrete-like mixture of stone and bitumen laid at 30mm thickness or greater.
spray seal: a layer of bitumen sprayed on the road and covered with stones.

How we determine what level of resurfacing work is required

Depending on the condition of the existing pavement, the road function and the traffic volumes, council will select either asphalt works to be completed or a spray seal.

Assessments are completed to determine what level of resurfacing works are required that maximise community benefit and amenity.

Planned resurfacing works

Annual works on Council’s Resurfacing and Resealing programs are scheduled to start from December 2024 and are expected to be completed June 2025.

What to expect if your road is resurfaced

Loose stones

If you have loose stones on your road, then it has had a spray seal – this is when stones are laid over a layer of bitumen, to provide a hard-wearing, skid-resistant surface.
Loose stones will only be there for a short period of time. More stones are used than may actually stick to the surface. These extra stones will stay on the road about 7 days before being swept off. Once we remove them, they are recycled.

A sticky road

The road may get sticky on warm days after being resurfaced, so please be careful not to walk it into your house and/or vehicle if it comes into contact with your shoes.
