Let’s talk roads – community drop-in sessions to note



Yarra Ranges Council is running a series of drop-in sessions for residents to come and chat directly to staff, ask questions, get clarification and report an issue.

You can register to attend online at au.openforms.com/Form/c8cb2ec3-2daa-4710-bb72-3a30553b21a9

Although not the most exciting topic, the Yarra Ranges local road network is extremely important and a priority for both residents and the council.

Yarra Ranges’ road network is one of the largest in the state, with the council managing approximately 1764 kilometres of roads, including 708 kilometres of unsealed roads.

Yarra Ranges Council also knows road-related issues can be complex and often it can be hard to know who is responsible for which road.

The sessions run from 5.30pm to 7pm and residents can drop-in anytime.

These are the topics that will be included:

how Council manages and maintains the local road network that it is responsible for

unsealed roads and the Special Charge Scheme

traffic and road safety

interacting with Council and reporting an issue

There are four drop-in sessions being held in different location across the municipality.

Make sure you register to attend at au.openforms.com/Form/c8cb2ec3-2daa-4710-bb72-3a30553b21a9
