We continue to strive for well-maintained, fit for purpose infrastructure network that assists growth within our region. This network includes 2,876km of sealed and unsealed roads that allows safe, convenient and comfortable pedestrian and vehicle traffic flow.

For the next 12 months it is proposed that the draft 2024/2025 budget, delivery program and operation plan focus on key projects that ensure services are met while also allowing our community to grow and cater for our future.

We are looking at investment that is needed to renew and upgrade key infrastructure which will assist the increase in population and the development of our region for the future.
