METHODOLOGY FOR DETERMINING THE GRAVEL ROAD RESHEETING PROGRAM
PURPOSE
To provide a methodology to determine priorities for the annual gravel road resheeting program.
POLICY STATEMENT
1. Methodology
The gravel road network is divided into segments of road listed on Council’s Road Register and Council’s Asset Register. A condition survey is conducted on Councils gravel road network on a two year basis in accordance with the Condition Assessment Manual for Unsealed Roads. This generates a list of roads that are in a condition that they should be considered for resheeting. This list is prioritised according to the following methodology.

+ (Community Facility Points)
Road segments considered for the annual gravel road resheeting program are prioritised in accordance with their score (highest to lowest).
In addition to the above priority determination
a. A total of up to 20% of the annual resheeting budget will be allocated for discretionary use on gravel roads. This is in recognition that identification of roads in need of resheeting is not an exact measure and circumstances do arise where works are required. Decisions on which gravel roads will be resheeted under the discretionary budget are made on a case by case basis by the Road Services Coordinator.
b. Urban and rural residential gravel roads shall be given overall priority for discretionary works
