Road Inspection Manual
Local government in NSW is responsible for over 165,000km of roads, including local and regional roads. Road operators have a duty of care to make sure road and transport assets are fit for purpose and safe to use by the community.
Inspecting road and transport assets to identify defects and managing known defects are an essential part of the responsibility of the road operator.
The purpose of this manual is to provide technical guidance and training to improve the skills of council staff involved in the inspection and management of local and regional road assets and to assist councils to maintain quality infrastructure to the community.
