Reporting Road Issues – RRV Or Council?

Published on 14 April 2023

Council maintains 844.7 kilometres of the vast road network within Mansfield Shire. However, that’s not all of the roads.

The major arterial roads and highways in the shire are managed by Regional Roads Victoria (RRV), including the Jamieson-Woods Point Road, Maroondah and Midland Highways and Mt Buller Road.

Before reporting a road issue, it will save valuable time by confirming the authority responsible for the road - Council or RRV.

On the reference map, roads in Mansfield Shire managed by RRV are highlighted red. A good first question to ask: is the issue on or near the intersection with an arterial road?

All reports and requests in relation to these roads should be made directly to Regional Roads Victoria by visiting - https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/traffic-and-road-use/report-a-road-issue

This could be any of the highways or arterials in Mansfield Shire, and includes the following roads within Mansfield township:  

  • High St
  • Highett St - north from the roundabout (towards Benalla)
  • Chenery Street
  • Malcolm Street - from Chenery Street to Highton Lane (and into Mt Buller Rd)

Coordinator Roads and Asset Maintenance, Daniel O’Connor, encourages road users to consider the authority responsible for the road before making a request or report.

“Taking a moment to think about who manages the road in question will save valuable time for both yourself and other road users,” he said.

“It will also ensure the right department attends to the enquiry promptly, which is important in the event of a safety issue.”

If the road is not on or near an arterial road or highway, then report it to Council via our website - https://www.mansfield.vic.gov.au/Council/Report-or-Request

Customer requests can also be made by email to: council@mansfield.vic.gov.au
