Council Begins $100,000 Road And Footpath Repair Blitz
Ararat Rural City Council has begun a four-week program of road and footpath repairs across the municipality, investing about $100,000. The works include patching, dig-out repairs and spray sealing on local roads, lanes and footpaths, at sites including Red Hill Road, Geelong Road and Frontage Road. Chief Executive Officer Phuong Au said the program reflects the council's ongoing maintenance commitment, with a further repair blitz planned around Easter next year. Residents can report road and footpath damage through the Snap Send Solve app, and reports will now receive updates better linked to the council's repair processes.
