Road Management Plan

The Road Management Plan describes how Hindmarsh Shire Council manages its road and related assets in accordance with the requirements of the Road Management Act 2004 (the Act), and associated Regulations and Codes of Practice. The Plan is applicable to road and road related infrastructure, as defined under the Act, for which Council is responsible.

The Act was introduced to establish a statutory framework for the management of the road network to facilitate the coordination of the various uses of road reserves for roadways, pathways, infrastructure and similar purposes.

The purpose of this Plan is to establish a management system for Council to inspect, maintain and repair its public roads based on policy and operational objectives having regard to available resources.

The key elements of the Road Management Plan include:

  • definition of Council’s maintenance responsibilities on various infrastructure.
  • the management system that Council employs for the inspection, maintenance and repair of its roads.
  • inspection standards that document the nature and frequency of different type of inspections (i.e. reactive and proactive).
  • maintenance standards that document intervention levels, maintenance response requirements, and maintenance response times.

For the avoidance of doubt, this Plan is a road management plan for the purposes of s.39 of the Road Management Act 2004.
