Road maintenance schedule
Key points
- We carefully plan our unsealed and sealed road maintenance works, taking into account a number of factors. Find out more about how we schedule our maintenance works.
- Please note that while we do our very best to keep to the maintenance schedule, the schedule may sometimes need to change at short notice
Check if an unsealed road is scheduled for works
We schedule our unsealed roadworks 2 months in advance. You can find out more about our unsealed road maintenance works here.
If the road in question is maintained by Council, you can check if it's scheduled for works in the next 2 months by using the unsealed roadworks checker tool below.
To use, start typing the road name and wait for it to appear in the drop down menu.
- If it’s a Council road but is not scheduled for works: Please report the problem online
- If it’s not a Council road: Please report the issue to VicRoads on 13 11 70 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) or use the VicRoads 'report a road issue' form

The road maintenance schedule may need to change
We carefully plan the maintenance schedule according to current conditions and forecasts which are based on road service and performance history data.
Despite these efforts, sometimes the schedule needs to change quite quickly in response to unforeseen circumstances, which may include (but are not limited to):
- weather or other events. As a result, we may need to defer some works and/or prioritise other works.
- the need to spend longer at a job than first planned, in order to properly correct an issue
- changing rates of deterioration within the existing defects list
- illness/injury of our crew members.
When this happens, our crews will reschedule and reprioritise any works missed to make sure they’re completed as soon as possible.
