Road Management Plan
The Road Management Plan is a document that describes the responsibilities for road management, including those of Council, landowners and a range of utilities. For Council, it also identifies the thresholds at which a defect in the road or its surrounds triggers a maintenance response, and the timeframe for those responses.
The Road Management Plan establishes the minimum maintenance standards Council aims to achieve in relation to its road network (rural and urban). This includes aspects like:
The frequency of inspection of different classes of roads and footpaths
The size of defects at which an intervention is triggered
The response time for different types of defects.
This plan covers the following three inter-related components.
Road Hierarchy, being the road classification level. Each road in the road network (other than Arterial Roads, e.g. highways) is classified as Minor, Access, Collector or Link, based on its level of use.
Service Standards for each class of road, a set of standards for construction and maintenance are defined.
Maintenance Regime which outlines the target levels of maintenance, including inspections and response for each road classification, and for a broad range of potential defects.
There have been a range of changes to this document since the last version, so these are shown highlighted as “tracked changes”.
Associated with the Road Management Plan is the road register which lists Council’s roads and the classification in the hierarchy that they sit in. There are maps which also show these classifications in a more convenient format, one for rural areas of the municipality and one for Horsham urban area.
Feedback
Council is seeking feedback from the community about the Road Management Plan, this could be in relation to:
Whether the roads you are familiar with have the appropriate classification in the hierarchy (refer to the maps of hierarchy for urban and rural areas)
Whether the maintenance levels in the Road Management Plan are appropriate, e.g. the triggers for action and the response time.
Other aspects of the Road Management Plan document.
Note that the Road Management Plan applies in urban and rural areas, hence comments on this are welcome from residents across the municipality.
3. Post your feedback to Horsham Rural City Council, PO Box 511, Horsham VIC 3402.
Submissions close 17 September.
