Interesting Facts

Council's vision is to provide an effective and sustainable road network that supports community strength and wellbeing.

The road network provides access for people and for the movement of goods and services. It significantly benefits residents, businesses and the district as a whole. Therefore, maintaining and improving roads are regarded as two of the core functions of Council.

What has changed since the LTCCP

There have been significant changes to the roading programme since the publication of the LTCCP. These changes are primarily due to changes to the Government Policy Statement for Transport (GPS) and the emphasis placed by Central Government on investment in its nominated Roads of National Significance (RONS). All of the RONS are State Highways and while some advantages from the emphasis will still accrue to the District, it has limited the availability of Central Government funding assistance for improvements such as seal extensions on light to moderately trafficked rural roads.

The overall impact of funding constraints has been that the timing of the three-year works programme detailed in the LTCCP has been pushed out, with a number of year one projects now listed for year two and subsequent projects delayed to accommodate these changes with projects of lower priority deferred indefinitely.
