Unsealed Roads - Draft Maintenance Plan
Consultation has concluded
Alexandrina Council is responsible for the care, control and management of all unsealed roads on land owned or under the care and control of Council. This includes collector roads which connect and funnel traffic between townships and local roads that provide residential and agricultural access.
Council’s unsealed road network consists of 403 roads totalling 770Kms across a varying range of terrains, climates and influences. These roads are constructed of limestone quarry rubble sourced locally from the Hartley quarry. The main impacts on the condition of our unsealed road network are weather, vehicular traffic (size/weight/volume/driver behaviour), water / drainage and the amount of maintenance. Unsealed road conditions are highly variable and changing constantly.
You can read more detailed information on how Council manages these assets in Council’s Infrastructure and Asset Management Plan.
Council receives a large amount of feedback from the community in regard to the level of service being provided on our unsealed road network.
Considering this feedback, minor changes have been made to the structure and format of several key documents relating to the treatment and methodology employed when renewing and maintaining unsealed roads.
Council is currently undertaking public consultation on the revised documents below.
Draft Unsealed Roads Maintenance Plan – includes grades, repair types, inspection frequency and response times
Draft Unsealed Roads Hierarchy – establishes the desired or planned role for each road and therefore sets the future standard for that road
Draft Unsealed Road Register – provides the community with a searchable index of all roads and in turn the service levels they can expect
Draft Unsealed Roads Hierarchy Review Process – the process for reviewing a road's classification, including an avenue for appeal should there be a disagreement on a classification.
