COMMUNITY feedback is being sought on Alpine Shire Council’s draft Road Management Plan (RMP).
Mayor, Cr Sarah Nicholas, said the RMP is a requirement of the Victorian Government's Road Management Act, and sets out the broad management system and standards for public roads.
“This document explains how council manages its responsibility to check, maintain, and fix public roads,” Cr Nicholas said.
“It describes the types of roads council looks after and groups them into different categories based on their importance or use.
“It also outlines how often roads are inspected, what kinds of problems need fixing, and how quickly council should respond, depending on the road and defect type.”

Cr Nicholas said council has reviewed its RMP by carefully considering what it’s legally required to do under the Road Management Act 2004, what it can realistically manage with its current resources, and any known risks.
“Our roads are a vital part of everyday life, and your voice matters in how we manage them,” she said.
“I encourage everyone to take a moment to read the draft Plan and share your thoughts.”
