The City manages over 2,000 km of roads, more than 2,300 km of paths, 86 major culverts and almost 150 bridges. The Road Management Plan 2025 outlines the City’s approach to how we manage these roads, kerbs and footpaths. This includes how often roads and footpaths are inspected, what defects the City repairs, how severe a defect needs to be to require repair and how long the City has to repair defects.

The Municipal Road Management Plan (RMP) is the City's guiding maintenance document for roads, kerbs and footpaths.

Stage 1a - Two Community Engagement Workshops were held in December 2024

Thank you to everyone who provided input, it is valued and appreciated.

Stage 1b - Internal stakeholder workshops were undertaken in January 2025

Following the feedback we received from Stage 1a, multiple workshops were conducted to consider where community wants and needs could be met within current and future means.

All stakeholders were given the opportunity to provide feedback through surveys, forms, and round table discussions. This input was used to help officers make informed decisions regarding the Road Management Plan.

Thank you again to everyone who provided feedback.

The internal working group has reviewed the feedback received during Stage 1 and has now prepared a draft plan for your review and further input.

Once this stage of this engagement closes, we will review and take into account all the responses as we finalise the Road Management Plan.

Following finalisation, the plan will be presented at the October Council Meeting for adoption.

Your input is greatly valued and will help us shape decisions that ensure the City of Greater Geelong's roads, footpaths, and related infrastructure are safe, accessible, and well-maintained for our community.

The Road Management Plan is a vital document that ensures the effective and sustainable management of our local road network. For The City, it provides a clear framework to allocate resources, prioritise maintenance, and uphold safety standards in a consistent and transparent manner. For the community, it provides for reliable access, improved road safety, and long-term preservation of infrastructure that supports daily life, economic activity, and emergency services.
