Sealed Roads
See sections below for more information on the upcoming work on the sealed road network
Road rehabilitation involves the complete re-construction of a section of road. In the rural environment, this is done by excavating and backfilling soft spots and failed areas before overlaying the whole section with 100-150mm of granular pavement which is then finished by a chipseal coat.
Sites scheduled for the 2023/24 financial year are:
- Tramway Road (RP 1058m-1730m)
- Tinwald Westerfield Mayfield Road (RP13090m-13950m)
- Thompsons Track (RP 25000m-26107m)
- Thompsons Track (RP 26588m-27920m)
- Seafield Road (RP10250m-11510m)
- Maronan Road (RP14320m-14730m)
- Lismore Mayfield Road (RP 5915m-7315m)
- Ealing Montalto Road (RP19770m-20760m)
- Ealing Montalto Road (RP23260-24250m)
- Chalmers Ave Roundabout (Moore St/Beach Rd)
- Chalmers Ave Roundabout (Walnut Ave/Albert St/Bridge St)
Resealing helps provide better skid resistance for motorists and involves overlaying the existing sealed surface with another layer of seal.
Heavy maintenance involves repairing weak sections of pavement by either digging out failures and backfilling with new material (digouts) or mixing cement and then milling the top 100mm of the existing surface (cement stabilisation).
Footpaths
The footpath resurfacing programme enables the upgrading of older type footpaths.
The new footpath installation programme involves construction of new footpaths as development is undertaken in, and adjacent to urban areas.
Sites scheduled for the 2023/24 financial year are:
- Ashburton - Albert Street LHS (RP 718m-1200m)

- Methven - Mackie Street LHS (RHS 10m-170m)
Kerb and Channel
The kerb and channel renewal programme enables the upgrading of older style deep dish channels.
The new kerb and channel installation programme enables the extension of kerb and channel as development is undertaken in, and adjacent to urban areas.
Sites scheduled for the 2023/24 financial year are:
- Ashburton - Albert Street LHS (RP 718m-1200m)
