Roading maintenance

Information on tar sealing, chip sealing, obstructions, road markings, sumps, sweeping and unsealed road grading.

Bleeding tar/shiny roads

Bleeding and melting tar is due to excessive heat during hot summer periods. Generally a fine chip is placed on the bleeding to alleviate the problem. To report any bleeding tar or shiny roads, please contact us on the details below.

Private roads

Council does not maintain private roads or private right of ways.

All vehicle crossings/driveways run through Council Road Reserve (including some rights of way).  Driveways are constructed for property access and are the owner’s responsibility to maintain, including any retaining structures and pipes running under them.

Markings

For all requests for new or existing road markings, broken yellow lines, or symbols on the road, contact us.

Sealing (loose chip sweeping)

To report any loose chipseal, contact us.

Sumps

To report a missing  or damaged stormwater grate, contact us.
