Council’s 2024/2025 Road Resealing Program sees more than $6.35 million spent across Greater Shepparton

Thursday 7th of August, 2025,
Greater Shepparton City Council’s 2024/2025 Road Resealing Program achieved great results across the municipality, more than $6.35 million spent on 42 roads within the region.
In summary:
Council's 2024/2025 Road Resealing Program spent over $6.35 million on 42 roads.
The program covered nearly 50km of roads across 19 towns and localities.
Works included spray sealing, asphalt resurfacing, and pavement stabilisation.
Roads were prioritised based on condition, age of the existing seal, and traffic volumes.
Council’s annual Road Resealing Program aims to seal road assets and road networks to support the functionality of the community and ensure the continued maintenance of Council’s assets. The annual program includes ‘spray sealed’ road re-surfacing, ‘asphalt’ road resurfacing and pavement ‘stabilisation’.
The 2024/2025 Program covered close to 50km of roads in 19 towns/localities across Greater Shepparton, including 42km of spray sealing, 4km of asphalt pavement, and 3km of road stabilising.
The program prioritised works based on condition data, as well as several other factors including the age of the existing seal, the types and volumes of traffic, the strength of the underlying pavement, how well the road is drained, and the extent of defects on the road.
Council’s Director Infrastructure, Gary Randhawa, said Council is responsible for managing around 1,200 kilometres of sealed local roads across Greater Shepparton.
“The Road Resealing Program is one of Council’s largest renewal programs each year and one which requires an extensive amount of planning and asset review to schedule the program of works,” he said.
“The program aims to ensure our roads, which are the region’s most important infrastructure, are maintained appropriately and remain fit for purpose.”
Over time, the bitumen wearing course seals on roads become brittle and crack, meaning the sealed wearing courses of the road surface need to be regularly replaced. These sealed wearing courses have an important role to play in keeping water out of the underlying pavement.
“Council’s Road Resealing Program ensures these important and necessary works are continually undertaken,” Mr Randhawa said.
“Council compiles a schedule of works each financial year, which outlines where the resealing will take place across the municipality and the extent of the works needed. Council will now begin work on the 2025/2026 Road Resealing Program.”
