Greater Shepparton City Council is reminding the community that time is running out to provide feedback on the Draft Road Management Plan 2025, with consultation closing Friday 23 May 2025.
In Summary
The Road Management Plan outlines how Council manages, inspects, and maintains local roads and roadside assets across the region. It sets out service levels and response timeframes, helping ensure the network remains safe and accessible for all users.
Mayor, Councillor Shane Sali, said community feedback plays a vital role in shaping how Council delivers this essential service.
“This is an important document that outlines how we look after our local road network, from small rural roads to major town thoroughfares,” he said.
“We want to make sure our approach reflects the needs and expectations of the community, so we’re encouraging residents to review the draft and tell us what they think before the consultation period ends.”
The updated plan follows a new Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) template that promotes consistency across councils. While the template has provided a fresh framework, Greater Shepparton has maintained flexibility to set standards tailored to local needs.
Updates to the plan include clearer role definitions, refined maintenance standards, and formatting changes to improve readability.
The Draft Road Management Plan is available to read and provide feedback on the Shaping Greater Shepp website here.
Submissions can also be made in writing by sending an email to council@shepparton.vic.gov.au
For further information, please call Council on 5832 9700.
