The transport network not only includes the paved road and footpath surfaces, but also the land between the
property boundaries that make up the road reserve, all of which is referred to as the transport corridor.
Corridor maintenance activities include: traffic services (signs and road marking), carriageway (street) and
amenity lighting (including some under veranda lights), amenity works/corridor maintenance (mowing, weed
spraying, street cleaning, kerb sweeping and catch pit cleaning, litter patrol and bin cleaning), removal of
graffiti, and the maintenance of railway/road level crossing warning devices.
Our aim is to provide an appropriate level of service that achieves road safety, efficient traffic flow and
consistent appearance of the roading network at an affordable cost.
Key projects for 2011/2012
• Maintenance: Council plans to maintain the road corridors to a standard that meets the specified service
levels.
