Capital Works Program

We look after and maintain the thousands of kilometers of local sealed and unsealed roads, and drainage pits and pipes, hundreds of kilometers of footpath and kerb and channel, along with bus shelters, signage and nature strips.  

Infrastructure Program

Delivery of major works designed to renew or upgrade long life road infrastructure including bridges, kerb and channel, footpaths, and drainage. 

Renewal programs are developed using asset management principles to treat assets before failure. If council’s asset base is to service the community into the future, the renewal of these assets is vital. 

Upgrade programs are designed to increase the safety, functionality and efficiency of the existing network while reducing risk to the public. 

The program is funded from varying sources including Federal Government grants, State Government grants, individual/business contributions, and council’s rate subsidy.
