NSW Roads: New System for Fairer Maintenance

Description

New South Wales councils gain a fairer, evidence-based system to manage and maintain roads, aiming to tackle potholes and crumbling surfaces. The Minns Labor Governments reform classifies roads correctly as State, Regional, or Local, ensuring funding and maintenance efforts are directed where most needed. This change addresses councils struggles with worn surfaces and maintenance challenges, replacing the outdated, ad hoc system with a consistent, evidence-based model. Councils can now submit applications for road recategorization at any time, with access to an online self-assessment tool. Regular reviews ensure the system remains effective and responsive to ongoing needs, particularly benefiting regional and rural councils.
