Strathbogie Shire residents are invited to share their thoughts on how the shire’s road network is managed and maintained for the next four years.

At council’s July 15 meeting the Draft 2025 Road Management Plan was adopted to be released for community consultation.

Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor Claire Ewart-Kennedy said the plan was an important document for the community as it outlines the way Council maintains its extensive road network.

“We know the upkeep of our roads is essential,” Cr Ewart-Kennedy said.

“With about 748km of sealed roads and more than 1,465km of unsealed roads – it’s a tough job.”

Cr Ewart-Kennedy said the Road Management Plan was a framework for undertaking asset management in a structured and coordinated way.

“This plan recognises the linkage between the management of road assets and the standard maintenance expected by our ratepayers,” she said.

“It’s our duty of care, and the framework of the plan takes into account inspection, maintenance and the repair of roads for which council is responsible.”

The community can have their say by visiting council’s online engagement platform at www.share.strathbogie.vic.gov.au to read the plan, find out more information, and have their say, or view the draft plan by visiting a Customer Service Centre in Euroa or Nagambie.

Submissions open 23 July through to 11:59pm on 21 August.
