The Moree Plains Shire has a vast road network, and we are calling upon road users to guide us in making informed decisions regarding which roads should receive priority attention for maintenance, improvement and/or investment.

With the launch of the Roads Prioritisation Program, community members have an opportunity to participate in 6 location-based surveys to give feedback that will assist us in creating a safer road network.

Director of Infrastructure, John Dyer welcomes responses from the community, explaining, “It is the residents of the Shire that have the local knowledge of their roads and the issues that affect the road networks, particularly in times of natural disasters.”

“This local knowledge, combined with a scientific approach using digital road traffic data from Transport for NSW (TfNSW) will give a holistic approach to long-term road asset management.”

“Participation in the surveys will help us better understand, enabling us to plan and provide maintenance, upgrades or improved roads in priority order.”

To contribute to how Council prioritise and allocate resources to our road network, please give feedback on the roads you use most regularly, you are welcome to complete more than one location-based survey.
