Road resealing season is here

Council's road resealing programme for this financial year is now in full swing, with great weather conditions for laying chip seal, the most common type of road surfacing in our area.

In total, 46 roads will have some level of repairs and reseals carried out, including a 6km section of Cable Bay Road, with work due to start there in the first half of February. 

Be aware that chip seal, bitumen, and other road materials require time to fully settle after they are put in place so please treat all new surfaces with extra care. 

Drivers, please avoid excessive speed, sharp turns, heavy braking, wheel spinning and static use of power steering.

If road sealing is happening in your street, please stay safe by staying well back from the action and following any directions from the workers. Ensure children and pets also stay clear.

Remember to check your shoes so you don’t trek dirt, bitumen or sticky little stones into the house or your car.  

If you park your car in a garage, be aware that you may bring in tar and stones on your tyres.

This is important work to ensure we maintain the standard of our roads so thanks to everyone for their patience while we get it done.
