The improvement and maintenance of regional and local roads is the statutory responsibility of each local authority, in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Roads Act 1993. Works on those roads are funded from Councils' own resources supplemented by State road grants.  The initial selection and prioritisation of works to be funded is a matter for the local authority.

As the statutory road authority for their administrative area, it is a matter for each local authority  to determine its priorities and decide its annual work programme taking available grant funding and its own resources into account.  The local authority should be able to advise the Deputy if any works are planned for this area.
