Mayor Deb Hamblin said these works were an important part of managing the City’s extensive road network which stretches more than 1,130kms.
“The City’s annual Road Rehabilitation and Renewal Program helps to maintain local roads to a safe standard for road users, as well as extending their lifetime and reducing the potential for costly repairs,” Mayor Hamblin said.
“In the lead up to projects starting, community members in areas that will be affected will be notified by the City through letter drops and the use of variable message boards. When required, the City may also implement traffic management.”
