Central Coast Council is continuing its in-depth road condition assessment across the region, as it compiles a comprehensive analysis of the entire sealed road network.

The network – comprising of more than 2200 kilometres of road pavement – if joined would stretch from the Central Coast to the Cape York Peninsula!

The results of the project will be used to develop future road renewal programs, providing data that will underpin the allocation of funds and resources – ensuring works are programmed effectively and efficiently.

The information will also inform decision making around Council’s Capital Works programming for years to come.

Considered industry best-practice, the detailed road condition assessment utilises advanced laser technology and will provide high-definition video imagery to ensure the accurate measure of road conditions.

In addition, Council will also be cataloguing, mapping and assessing all regulatory signage, line marking and raised pavement markers to provide a comprehensive picture of all of the region’s road-related assets.

As part of an ongoing commitment to improving transport infrastructure, Council has undertaken around 500 road and drainage renewal or upgrade works this financial year – with an even greater number anticipated for the year ahead.
