What is a Road Management Plan?
The Mitchell Shire Road Management Plan (RMP) is a management system for the road management functions of Council which is based on Council’s policy and operational objectives as well as available resources.
The plan sets the relevant standards in relation to the discharge of duties in the performance of those road management functions. The RMP sets out Council’s obligations as the responsible authority to inspect,maintain and repair public roads. In simple terms, its purpose is to set out a clear management system for inspection and maintenance of the road and footpath network.
It covers the following road assets:
- Road structure including earth formation, road pavement and road surface;
- Road drainage including roadside table drains, kerbs, culverts, pits and other drainage
- infrastructure within the road formation;
- Road signs, guideposts and pavement markings;
- Bridges and major culverts;
- Constructed pathways (sealed and unsealed) including paths within driveway crossover
It provides minimum standards for inspection, construction, maintenance and repairs across these road assets. It also outlines duties of road users and owners or occupiers of adjoining land and provides a list of roads included in the public road register (including roads management by VicRoads or others).
