RPPFM reports that the Mornington Peninsula Shire has announced an increase in this year’s road maintenance budget, aiming to improve infrastructure and safety across the region.

The decision follows feedback from budget consultations and community surveys, with the Council acknowledging the need for better road conditions and more engagement with residents.

As part of this initiative, the Shire plans to hold additional discussions to hear community concerns and gather local knowledge on key road safety improvements.

A major component of the increased budget is the launch of the Roads to Recovery project, which will see 35 roads undergo renewal works. Further details on the specific locations and timelines are expected to be released soon.

The Council is encouraging residents to report any road maintenance concerns through its official website to help prioritise future works.
