More about the amendment

We look after 499 kilometres of roads, 832 kilometres of kerb and channel and 868 kilometres of pathways. Making sure they are safe, accessible and meet the needs of everyone who walks, rides, drives, or uses mobility aids in our City is important.

The Road Management Plan outlines how we look after roads, footpaths and shared pathways to keep them safe, accessible and fit for purpose. It also covers how often roads and pathways are inspected, what counts as a defect and how quickly repairs must be made to ensure they’re safe, compliant and sustainable now — and into the future.  

We’ve made some minor updates to the Plan, including:

• Introducing clearer timeframes for fixing potholes, damaged signs, blocked drains and overgrown trees, so hazards are addressed quickly and consistently.
• Improving clarity on which assets Council maintains, and which are the responsibility of other authorities or property owners — helping residents know who to contact.

This Plan affects everyone who walks, cycles or drives in Glen Eira. Share your thoughts on the updated Plan and help shape how we manage our roads and pathways into the future.
