Road Management Plan

The Road Management Plan is a document which describes road and road related infrastructure within road reserves for which Council is responsible. 

The RMP covers the following assets:

  • Bridges (A structure with the primary purpose of carrying a roadway or pathway over an obstacle with a minimum span of 1.8m or a minimum waterway area of 3m2)
  • Major Culverts (A structure with the primary purpose of providing a passageway beneath a road or a path, usually but not necessarily for stormwater, with a minimum span or diameter of 1.8m, or a minimum waterway area of 3m2)
  • Drainage (Pits & Pit Lids, Surrounds & Grates – Not pipes)
  • Pathways (Footpath & Shared Pathways – see full definition in appendix 1)
  • Kerb & Channel
  • Road Pavement
  • Road Surface
  • Signage (including regulatory & warning signs)

The RMP sets inspection intervals, intervention levels and response times as well as stating management systems which Council will implement to ensure that its responsibilities within the Act are met.

The Road Management Plan Version 9 was endorsed by Council on 26 November 2025 and can be downloaded on the link below.
