Darebin’s Road Management Plan

The Road Management Plan (RMP), under the provisions of the Victorian Road Management Act 2004, and the Road Management (General) Regulations 2016, outlines standards and responsibilities for maintaining the local road network. This road network provides connectivity to residents, visitors and businesses across the municipality.

Our Road Management Plan sets out:

  • How we responsibly manage Council's road network
  • How we meet expectations
  • The level of service we aim to provide
  • A framework for management and decision making.
