Golden Plains Shire Council’s road grading calendar is now included in the online events calendar, helping residents to easily track when maintenance will be done on unsealed roads.
The annual Road Grading Program allows for grading of Council’s unsealed road network in the Shire throughout the year. Council has committed to grading every road in the Shire’s 714km unsealed Council road network at least once a year through its Unsealed Road Grading Maintenance Charter.
Residents can now visit goldenplains.vic.gov.au/events to see when Council’s graders will be in which areas of the Shire. They can either use the search box to view road grading listings in their individual town or click on the calendar to search month by month.
Golden Plains Shire Mayor Cr Brett Cunningham said ensuring road grading information was available to residents was an important part of answering common questions about when roads will be graded.
"The aim of the grading schedule is to answer one of the most common questions Councillors and our Customer Experience team hear ‘when will our road be graded? Having that information available on Council’s events calendar helps provide our residents with that answer and assurance of when each road will be graded,” Cr Cunningham said.
Council acknowledges that ongoing road maintenance is one of the most important issues in Golden Plains Shire, and we want to take every opportunity to keep people informed on road maintenance activities across the Shire.
Residents can access detailed information about roads on Council’s website including the road hierarchy, the road grading charter, road grading program and schedule plus a number of fact sheets and how to report a road issue. This information is available at goldenplains.vic.gov.au/resident/roads
Residents who wish to report a road maintenance issue, are encouraged to contact Council’s Customer Experience team on 5220 7111 or submit a request through Council’s online Customer Experience Portal at goldenplains.vic.gov.au/forms/portal
