Bitumen Resealing Works Program 2024/2025
As part of Council’s ongoing investment, targeting the rejuvenation of the existing sealed road network across the region, works are currently underway with this year’s bitumen reseal program.
The preparation and bitumen resealing works will be ongoing for a substantial part of this financial year, and the resealing work commencing this week marks the first of a number of smaller packages expected to be delivered during the year.
Mayor Duff said, “I am very happy that all the Councillors are working together to get better road outcomes and this reseal program will include roads right across the region.”
A significant amount of preparation work is undertaken in the lead up to the actual bitumen resealing work, and this year there is a focus on undertaking this work with internal Council resources as much as possible.
Budget 24/25: $5.6M
Number of roads: 45 roads
Total length of roads being resealed: Targeting approximately 70km
What and why do we bitumen reseal
Council undertakes periodic bitumen resealing work on our sealed road network to rejuvenate and extend the life of roads and streets. The bitumen resealing process consists of spraying a thin film of bitumen across the road surface, and then adding small stones on top of the bitumen film. This forms a durable waterproof dust free layer on top of the road, can improve the skid resistance of the road surface, and reduces the occurrence of potholes and cracks forming. Typically, the useful life of a bitumen seal is 10-15 years, after which time bitumen resealing should be undertaken.
