Greater Shepparton City Council’s 2024/2025 Road Resealing Program achieved great results across the municipality, more than $6.35 million spent on 42 roads within the region.
In summary:
Council’s annual Road Resealing Program aims to seal road assets and road networks to support the functionality of the community and ensure the continued maintenance of Council’s assets. The annual program includes ‘spray sealed’ road re-surfacing, ‘asphalt’ road resurfacing and pavement ‘stabilisation’.
The 2024/2025 Program covered close to 50km of roads in 19 towns/localities across Greater Shepparton, including 42km of spray sealing, 4km of asphalt pavement, and 3km of road stabilising.
The program prioritised works based on condition data, as well as several other factors including the age of the existing seal, the types and volumes of traffic, the strength of the underlying pavement, how well the road is drained, and the extent of defects on the road.
Council’s Director Infrastructure, Gary Randhawa, said Council is responsible for managing around 1,200 kilometres of sealed local roads across Greater Shepparton.
“The Road Resealing Program is one of Council’s largest renewal programs each year and one which requires an extensive amount of planning and asset review to schedule the program of works,” he said.
Over time, the bitumen wearing course seals on roads become brittle and crack, meaning the sealed wearing courses of the road surface need to be regularly replaced. These sealed wearing courses have an important role to play in keeping water out of the underlying pavement.
“Council’s Road Resealing Program ensures these important and necessary works are continually undertaken,” Mr Randhawa said.
