How we manage and maintain our roads

Our road management plan [ PDF, 1.14 MB] was adopted on 20 July 2021. It sets goals and objectives to create a sustainable, safe and efficient transport system in partnership with the community.

We work together with the Victorian Government to manage roads in Yarra. You can read the Codes of Practice under the Road Management Act on the Vicroads website.

The purpose of the road management plan is to document the standards and priorities for inspection, maintenance and repairs of the road network. The plan outlines our responsibilities to ensure that roads and footpath are safe.

Our road management plan

The road management plan includes:

• management systems put in place by us to inspect, maintain and repair public roads
• description of the assets on public roads we're responsible for
• the condition those assets will be maintained by us
• a hierarchy for roads and footpaths to inform response times and effective maintenance and repair practices
• updates to the road register

Our road materials policy

When constructing and repairing our roads and laneways original materials are used to preserve the heritage look of Yarra. Find more information about our road materials policy [ PDF, 1.58 MB] .

Laneways and rights of way

We have a policy for laneways, passageways and rights of way in Yarra that sets out the basis for the inclusion of laneways, or right of ways on the Register of Public Roads.
