Bitumen Reseal & Asphalt Resurfacing Program 2025-2026

Project Overview

online community engagement

To enhance safety and reliability, Council will undertake asphalt resurfacing and bitumen reseal works for over 72 kilometres of road (over 100 roads), as part of the 2025-26 Bitumen Reseal & Asphalt Resurfacing Program.

The works are scheduled to take place from 6.30am to 6.30pm between Monday, 24 November 2025 and Friday, 27 March 2026, weather permitting.

The program is jointly funded by Lockyer Valley Regional Council and the Australian Government through the Roads to Recovery Program.

Council appreciates the community's understanding and cooperation during these essential works.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of these works?

The project will involve surface correction, mill and fill in various sections along the roads, asphalt overlay, bitumen reseal, kerb and channel replacement and the reinstatement of line markings.

These improvements will enhance rideability and safety for motorists and cyclists, and extend the road surface's lifespan, thereby reducing deterioration and the need for frequent maintenance.

What will be the impact to residents?

Short delays to local traffic are anticipated due to stop-and-go arrangements within the work zone (one traffic lane closed at time). However, residents will still be able to enter and exit their driveways. Rubbish collection will continue as normal. Where the bin truck cannot access wheelie bins on the footpath, the contractor onsite will ensure bins are relocated to an accessible location for collection.

Heavy machinery and construction noise will be present during permitted working hours. Dust and noise will be kept to a minimum through control measures (i.e. use of water trucks).

If night works are required, Council will aim to minimise disruption by scheduling works between 6.00pm and 12.00am.

How are the roads selected?

The road selection for this year’s program was based on an initial asset condition assessment conducted by the National Transport Research Organisation (formerly the Australian Road Research Board), an external pavement assessment and asset management consultant. Their assessment considered road defects and remaining surface life across the region's road network.

Following this, Council's Infrastructure Delivery Team undertook ground truthing through visual inspections and GoPro video capture. Asset defect severity was used to determine priority rankings (1 – 5).

Key Factors for Choosing Roads for Resealing

Program planning:

Council typically plans their resealing programs for a year or more in advance.

Cost-effectiveness:

Reduce future maintenance costs and prevent roads from reaching a state that requires a full reconstruction.

Safety improvements:

Resealing can improve safety by providing a smooth, durable and waterproof surface for road users. 

Road condition:

Officials assess roads for signs of aging and distress, such as wearing and loss of stone, or age of the seal.

Preventative maintenance:

The primary goal is to protect the road from water damage and wear before major deterioration occurs.
