Roads

 

Our road network consists of arterial (main) roads, which are maintained by VicRoads, and local roads which are funded and maintained by Council.

Road maintenance for local roads is provided under contract by MACA Infrastructure Pty Ltd. (formerly known as Services South East Pty Ltd.).

Road rehabilitation/upgrades including construction and sealing are carried out by calling for external tenders and the works are carried out under contract.
