Roadside Management Plan

Council is responsible for the management and maintenance of approximately 1,200 kilometres of rural roadsides. Roadsides are the areas either side of the road and between carriageways which are not used by motorised vehicle traffic.

Roadsides within Nillumbik are valuable because they provide:

  • safe and efficient function of the carriageway
  • an alignment for utility networks
  • opportunities for fire risk management
  • unique ecological, cultural and recreational value.
