Rebuilding and maintaining sealed roads

More than $48 million is being invested in building, improving, and maintaining the roads with Cardinia Shire in 2023-24

Around $6.2 million will be invested towards the renewal and resurfacing of over 120 sections of road across the shire in 2023-2024

In 2022-2023, Cardinia Shire Council has worked to rehabilitate, repair, and reconstruct 4.7kms of its existing road network.

In 2023–24, Council plans to rehabilitate an additional 3.8 kilometres of the existing road network.

Why we do road renewal works  

  • Road renewal works or rehabilitation is a full rebuilding of the road pavement. We do these works when the road pavement has lost its strength.
  • This may be due to the road’s age or heavy usage. It may have potholes, rutting, cracking, and other issues.
  • We may rehabilitate sections of a road or the entire road, depending on what’s needed.  

What renewal works involve

The old road material is dug out and either reused on the same project or another suitable project.  A combination of new and recycled material is then used to build a new road pavement, starting with the layers under the surface and finishing off with the black top surface.

These works are part of the 2023–24 annual works program.

Around $6.2 million will be invested towards the renewal and resurfacing of over 120 sections of road across the shire in 2023-2024

To assist with maintaining the existing roads within Cardinia Shire, Council has resurfaced 37 kilometres of its existing road network in 2022-23.

In 2023–24, 37.5 kilometres of roads are scheduled to be resurfaced. 

Why we resurface roads

  • Resurfacing works are proactive works to help prevent water damage to the road. 
  • Resurfacing at the right time may reduce pavement defects such as potholes, and prevent additional, expensive pavement rehabilitation works to be needed in the future. 
  • Resurfacing works help prolong the life of the road.
  • Most types of road resurfacing works are done in the warmer months of the year.

What resurfacing works involve 

We put a fresh layer over the top layer of the road, using either:

  • asphalt: a bitumen-based concrete-like mixture of stone and bitumen laid at 30mm thickness or greater.
  • spray seal: a layer of bitumen sprayed on the road and covered with stones.

How we determine what level of resurfacing work is required

Depending on the condition of the existing pavement, the road function and the traffic volumes, council will select either asphalt works to be completed or a spray seal.

Assessments are completed to determine what level of resurfacing works are required that maximise community benefit and amenity.

 

These works are part of the 2022–23 annual works program. Works are programmed to begin in November 2023 and finish by June 2024.

*Please note that the planned resurfacing works may be subject to future change.


 
 

Loose stones

  • If you have loose stones on your road, then it has had a spray seal ­– this is when stones are laid over a layer of bitumen, to provide a hard-wearing, skid-resistant surface.
  • Loose stones will only be there for a short period of time. More stones are used than may actually stick to the surface. These extra stones will stay on the road about 7 days before being swept off. Once we remove them, they are recycled.

A sticky road

The road may get sticky on warm days after being resurfaced, so please be careful not to walk it into your house and/or vehicle if it comes into contact with your shoes.
