Changing land use impacts significantly on the performance of the roading network, the level of maintenance to be achieved, and renewals and capital improvement required to meet these chaning demands. In addition to this there is a need to clearly identify customer expectations as to levels of service to be met by the roading network, and to plan our funding levels in the future to meet these levels of service.
The council will be carrying out an in-depth roading network analysis to ensure that the roading infrastructure will be able to provide an adequate level of service in both the short-term and long term future. This analysis will identify the physical upgrades and funding necessary to meet these future needs and enable council to plan accordingly for this work.
