Council’s annual reseal program involves adding another coat of bituminous seal to existing sealed roads. As sealed roads age the bituminous seal oxides and becomes more brittle leading to more potholes. Resealing roads also helps mitigate other forms of failure, such as crocodile cracking. The reseal program also includes installation of final seals on previous road reconstructions.
Newly constructed roads use a primerseal, which is designed to penetrate the pavement and improve waterproofing, the primerseal is not designed to last long term and generally has a final seal installed in the following financial year.
Council’s reseal program generally happens in February or March of each year. The appointed contractor normally takes two to three weeks to deliver the whole program. In general it only takes a few hours to reseal a road segment and delays are short.
The following roads are included in the 20-21 reseal program.
Note: The program has the minor possibility of amendments subject to technical advice from the sealing contractor.
