EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

Kingston City Council (Council) is a

Coordinating Road Authority under the Road

Management Act 2004 (the Act) and is

responsible for the management, maintenance

and development of the Municipal Road

network within the City of Kingston

(Kingston).

The Act allows a road authority to develop and

publish a Road Management Plan. This Road

Management Plan covers the Public Roads in

Kingston managed and maintained by Council.

The purpose of this Road Management Plan is:

to establish a management system for

Council’s road management functions that

is based on policy and operational

objectives and available resources; and

to set the relevant standard in relation to

the discharge of duties in the performance

of those road management functions

As at May 2013, the road network in Kingston

consists of:

Municipal Roads – 597 km

Footpaths - 1015 km

Kingston’s “Register of Public Roads”

provides the details of each of the roads and

paths for which Council is responsible and

includes for completeness private roads and

road reserves not yet constructed.

The Road Management Plan (RMP):

supports Council’s principal road

management role of providing a safe and

efficient road network for use by all

members of the public;

documents the good road asset

management practices established that

focuses on delivering optimal outcomes

having regard to affordability, available

resources, and the policies, priorities and

strategies of governments and road

authorities;

outlines the processes for managing

defects and failure of assets; and

details the inspection frequencies and

condition standards adopted by Council.

The RMP seeks to balance the expectations of

road users and the community against the

limited resources available to Council in

establishing a reasonable system for managing

their roads, including the setting of reasonable

inspection and maintenance schedules and

target times for repairing defects or

deteriorations that are found or reported.

The RMP is supported by the following Asset

Management Plans (AMPs):

AMP – Transport, Dec 2007;

AMP – Pavements, Dec 2007;

AMP – Footpaths, Dec 2007;

AMP – Drainage, Dec 2007

The AMPs provide the details for the full life-

cycle management of Kingston’s transport,

drainage, footpath and pavement assets and

sets out its goals and objectives, policies and

strategies, levels of service, standards, works

programs, lifecycle programs and information

systems relevant to managing these assets.

Any queries or comments in relation to the

RMP should be addressed to;

3 LEVELS OF SERVICE

The Level of Service is specified in Appendix

1 of this RMP.

The Level of Service identifies the following

activities:

inspection of assets

Intervention standards

rectification works and response times

Appendix 2 details the inspection type and

frequency associated with each asset type.

The Levels of Service are based on:

Council’s goals and objectives; (i.e.

Council Plan)

legislative requirements (i.e. Road

Management Act);

customer expectations (identified through

community consultation / surveys);

Council’s delivery mechanisms (i.e. in-

house / external contract resources);

Industry standards / renewal requirements

(i.e. pavement / financial modelling);

Council budget.

The Level of Service detailed in this RMP is

based on the review of the RMP by Council in

2013 and taking into consideration the

comments received from the community as

part of the formal review. (refer 1.3 - Review

of Plan)

The Level of Service being achieved and

adopted in this RMP is considered reasonable,

reflecting community expectations, the

resources available, the budget and the

competing demands of Council.

3.1 Policies / Strategies

The Council Plan 2009-13 [2012 update] is

the key strategic document for setting the

future directions of Council. Goal 1 relates

directly to Councils assets and ongoing

maintenance programs based on asset

management principles.

Goal 1 - “Infrastructure for a Safe and Active

Community.”

Objective 1.1 is to provide “sustainable assets

that balance investment and community

expectations to provide a high level of

community benefit today and into the future.”

The AMPs have been developed in response to

Councils Asset Management Strategy which

“aims to achieve a systematic improvement to

Asset Management practices within Kingston”

and forms a key component in strategic and

financial planning and in annual budgeting.

The AMPs detail Councils transport, drainage,

footpath and pavement assets and sets out its

goals and objectives, policies and strategies,

levels of service, standards, works programs,

lifecycle programs and information systems

relevant to managing the asset.

3.2 Community Consultation

Consultation with the community is carried out

to ensure that the needs and expectations of the

community – within the limits of affordability

and Council priorities - are taken account of in

determining the levels of service.

3.2.1 RMP Review

The RMP review requires Council to give

public notice of the review and for persons to

make a submission.1

This review of the Plan provides the

opportunity for the community to review and

comment and to suggest changes on the Plan.

(refer 1.3 - Review of RMP)

1 Road Management (General) Regulations

2005 Section 302



3.2.2 Annual Community

Satisfaction survey

Annual Community Satisfaction Surveys are

carried out in order to measure Councils

performance on road maintenance, major

construction works, footpaths, street furniture,

complaints and related requests made to

Council.

Details of the annual community satisfaction

surveys relating to road infrastructure are

reported annually to Council.

In the Department of Planning and Community

Development survey 2012 Council recorded

an overall performance index of 65. This is

significantly higher than the state-wide

average for this measure of 60 and 1 point

lower than the average index score of 66 for

the Inner Melbourne Metropolitan group.

3.2.3 Village Committee Meetings

Council’s Village Committees and meetings

with other key stakeholders identified in 1.5 –

Key stakeholders, provide the opportunity for

feedback on the performance of Council in the

delivery of the service.

3.3 Risk Assessment

The standards of construction and

maintenance, as outlined in this RMP, have

been determined on the basis of a risk

assessment undertaken generally in accordance

with the principles of AS/NZ ISO 31000:2009,

Risk Management – Principles and guidelines.

Through the use of Risk Management, there is

a structured approach to decision making,

development of strategies, the setting of

priorities and the allocation of scarce

resources.

For nominated road defects Council has

determined the likelihood the defect will

contribute to an incident and the subsequent

consequences of that incident. A level of risk

was then determined and an appropriate

response time to repair the defect established.

This analysis, evaluation and risk treatment is

documented in the AMPs. The response times

adopted to repair identified defects taking into

account the consequences and likelihood of an

event are shown in Appendix 1.

3.4 Inspection Types

Inspections are undertaken on a regular basis

to ensure the road assets are being maintained

in a safe manner and that adopted intervention

levels are being met.

The types of inspections carried out on the

road assets are set out in Appendix 3. These

include:

Routine (Defect) Inspections

Reactive (Safety) Inspections

Incident Inspections

Condition Inspections

3.5 Standards of Maintenance

Maintenance is the day-to-day operational

activity necessary to keep the asset operating.

Maintenance includes both preventative as

well as corrective activities.

Maintenance works are mainly delivered by a

group of specialist contractors supported by in-

house Council teams. Road renewal, network

expansion and upgrade works are undertaken

by specialist contractors.

The objective of routine maintenance is to

ensure network management practices, levels

of service and programs meet road user’s

expectations, minimise disruption to the

community and provide value for money.

The following maintenance activities are

carried out to ensure the levels of service are

maintained.



3.5.1 Make Safe

Temporary works to be undertaken to reduce

the risk of an incident until such time as

maintenance or repair works can be

completed. Response times and measures (e.g.

warning signs, flashing lights, and safety

barriers) are determined based on the risk

assessment by the works supervisor.

3.5.2 Emergency Works

Works required to be undertaken immediately

to ensure the safety of road users and the

public following an emergency incident.

Refer Section 3.9 Emergency response.

3.5.3 Routine Maintenance /

Repairs

These are generally operational activities

undertaken to maintain the primary function of

the asset. Routine maintenance deals with

minor activities to make safe or to slow down

or prevent deterioration of the road asset and

includes activities such as crack sealing,

pothole repair, sign replacement, repairs and

line marking.

Understanding the relationship between the

asset base, quantity of work, intervention

levels, community satisfaction and duty of

care is essential for the purpose of budget

projections. For example: if the asset base is

increased without a comparable increase in

budget allocation or productivity

improvement, the quality of maintenance

could be reduced and impact on duty of care.

The inspection frequency for routine (Defect)

maintenance inspections are set out in

Appendix 2.

The intervention levels and the response times

in which repairs will be carried out are set out

in Appendix 1.

The Infrastructure Department’s Road

Infrastructure Maintenance Services

Operational Manual provides guidelines to

inspectors and other staff in carrying out the

requirements of the RMP.

3.6 Renewal Works

3.6.1 Pavement modelling

Formal analysis and modelling is not currently

utilised by the Infrastructure Department in the

development of annual pavement renewal

programs. Instead a five-year planning and

prioritisation procedure is used. The

Infrastructure Department however are

currently in the process of assessing the

inspection and predictive modelling systems

that are currently available for road

pavements.

3.6.2 Pavement Condition

A visual assessment of all road pavements is

undertaken and their condition ratings recorded.

The inspections are undertaken by experienced

engineers from Council’s Infrastructure

Department.

The inspection frequencies for condition

inspections are set out in Appendix 2.

The ratings to describe the various condition

states of the pavement surface used when

carrying out a condition survey are detailed in

the AMP – Pavements, Dec 2007..

A short-term planning and prioritisation process

is typically used:

1. The pavement inventory, including

pavement condition, is updated.

2. A decision is made on the type of

treatment to be utilised.

3. Each pavement section in the inventory is

reviewed to determine if the section

requires a pavement treatment in the next

few years.

4. The appropriate treatment for the given

section is then selected. The

identification of its needs is based on the

adopted Levels of Service.



5. Each section, and its recommended treatment, is described in terms of

location, treatment type, recommended

construction year, estimated cost and

priority level. Priority levels are based on:

Meeting minimum safety Levels of Service;

Meeting minimum acceptable Levels of Service;

Preventative maintenance and cost effectiveness concerns (including

projects where timing is very

important to achieve cost

effectiveness); or

Projects initiated to achieve a target level of service.

6. The individual treatments are sorted by

priority levels. The resulting list

represents the total documented needs for

the maintenance and rehabilitation of the

municipal road network.

Details of the short-term planning and

prioritisation process are set out in the AMP –

Pavements, Dec 2007.

3.7 Renewal Program

Asset rehabilitation or renewal activities are

carried out to restore the condition of the asset

so as to ensure that the required Levels of

Service can be delivered over the long term.

The MAV Moloney asset management model

has provided Council with the opportunity to

carry out long-term modelling and identifying

renewal funding gaps. This modelling has been

used to develop the long term (5-10 year)

funding for roads and footpaths. (Refer Section

4.3 - 5-10 Year Capital Works Forward P).

3.8 Design Standards

The standards of design and construction of

new municipal roads and pathways are carried

out in accordance with the following

references:

Kingston City Council. Roads and

Drainage Design Standards and

Presentation of Designs.

VicRoads. Standard Specifications for

Road works and Bridgeworks.

3.9 Emergency Response

Council is committed to providing a response

to emergency situations in accordance with the

specified response times.

Emergency works include works in response

to traffic accidents and road spillages, fires,

flooding, storms and responses under

Council’s Municipal Emergency Management

Plan

However in extreme events response times and

actions set out in this RMP may not be

achievable due to the need to redirect

resources to respond to and recover from the

extreme event.

3.10 After Hours Emergency Call-Outs

Council also maintains an 24 hour emergency

phone number (1300 653 356)

During office hours the request is directed to

the relevant department or officer. After hours

(5.30 pm – 8.30 am Monday to Friday and

weekends) calls are directed via an automated

options service to the Infrastructure

Emergency Response Officer.

Depending on the nature of the issue or from

an inspection, the Emergency Response

Officer will make safe or take action as

necessary. The response may include referring

to a specialist contractor (i.e. drainage

contractor) who is on standby and available to

carry out after hours response works.



4 FINANCIAL RESOURCES

4.1 Budget Provisions

Each year during its budget process Council

reviews its Five Year Financial Plan to

consider available funding and the need to

provide broad services for the community, as

reflected in the Council Plan.

The level of funding directed to maintenance

activities is reviewed on an annual basis as

part of Council’s 5 Year Financial Planning

process.

Allowance is made within Councils annual

budget to meet the Councils obligations set out

in this RMP. This includes annual funding for

emergency response, routine and programmed

maintenance, renewal and capital works.

The financial resources allocated for works on

the road and pathway networks are considered

reasonable having regard to the overall service

delivery priorities of the Council and the

outcomes of the RMP review.

4.2 Other Sources

In addition to Council funding for road

construction and maintenance, funding is

available from the State Government through

its Roads to Recovery (R2R) program.

4.3 5-10 Year Capital Works Forward

Plan

Each year during its budget process Council

reviews its Five Year Financial Plan to reflect

available funding and the need to provide broad

services for the community, as reflected in the

Council Plan.

The current Five Year Financial Plan aims to

continue current funding levels for the

replacement of road infrastructure.

The level of funding directed to maintenance

activities is reviewed on an annual basis as part

of Council’s 5 Year Financial Planning process.

The forecast expenditures are set out in

Council’s Kingston Strategic Resource Plan.



5 MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

5.1 Service Requests System

Council utilises a customer relationship

management system, which is used to receive

requests for service and maintenance, along

with complaints and reports pertaining to

Council assets. These can be received from

residents, visitors, rate payers/owners,

government authorities, Councillors, private

utility companies and any emergency services.

The customer relationship management system

is utilised by our Customer Service staff when

receiving both in person at our counters and

via our Action line 1300 653 356. These

requests are recorded and managed using a

workflow methodology.

All requests and complaints including

emergency requests that require action, are

attended to within specified times, and the

request must be finalised to meet closure

performance standards.

The following information relating to

customer requests are also recorded within this

system:

Name and address of person reporting the

defect

Defects or other matters requiring

attention;

Response time (has been assigned against

a particular defect type/complaint as part

of Council’s Customer Service

Committment;

Details of repair and maintenance works

(all actions taken in relation to the request

is recorded)

Date repair and maintenance works have

been completed

The following information observed and

recorded by Councils Road Infrastructure

Inspectors are also recorded and tracked within

this system:

Defects requiring immediate action

required to be made safe;

Defects requiring action from service

authorities/ utility companies;

Defects that may develop into a Notice of

Incident (Specific Incident Report) - (refer

Section 115 of the Act.)

Whilst the current customer relationship

management system is able to provide for

regular monitoring through reports on the

customer service requests, complaints and

information regarding the nature and timing of

responses, the reporting is not directly aligned

with the RMP requirements. (Refer 5.2.1 -

Future Development).

5.2 Maintenance Management System

With respect to roads, Council has developed

an integrated approach to inspection,

maintenance and repair of road infrastructure

based on the following2:

Identification of defects;

Intervention level reached;

Type of intervention action;

Target time for intervention action.

Defects from Routine (defect) inspections are

recorded and uploaded into a Maintenance

database.

Works are prioritised and forwarded as

Microsoft Excel spread sheet Works Orders to

specialist contractors.

Works orders are returned with completed

dates which are uploaded back into the

Maintenance database.

Details of all customer requests and routine

inspection defects are recorded with completed

dates for future retrieval as required.

2 Code of Practice for Road Management

Plans – Schedule 1



5.2.1 Future Development

Council is in the process of developing an

Asset Management Solution that will integrate

the various asset recording and management

systems located across the organisation.

The introduction of an asset maintenance and

management system will assist significantly in

the collection, recording, management and

reporting on transport and drainage asset data.

Of particular benefit will be:

the management of asset defects including monitoring maintenance activities and

costings;

the ability to link to a central database through GIS;

the use of hand held data collectors.

Council is also looking to replace its current

customer relationship management system

with an enhanced system that will provide

greater integration with other corporate asset

management systems and enable direct

reporting in accordance with the RMP.

5.3 Safety on work Sites

All construction and maintenance work on

local roads, pathways and unattended

overnight works will be undertaken in

accordance with the relevant occupational,

health and safety legislation, Code of Practice

for Worksite Safety - Traffic Management and

Council’s adopted Safety Procedures.

Council utilises inter-departmental approval

processes for reviewing traffic management

plans for construction activities. These plans

are reviewed by construction surveillance

officers and contractor to collaboratively

achieve the objectives of work site safety.

5.4 Duty to Inform Service Provider

or Works and Infrastructure

Manager

If in the course of meeting its obligations

under the RMP, the Council becomes aware

that any non-road infrastructure for which a

service provider or works and infrastructure

manager is responsible:

is not in the location shown in the relevant

records; or

appears to be in an unsafe condition; or

appears to be in need of repair or

maintenance,

The Council will convey that information to

the relevant service provider or works and

infrastructure manager as per the time frame

detailed in Appendix 1 of the Council

becoming aware of the aforementioned

situation.

Service Authorities with assets within the road

reserve include:

South East Water – sewer pits, trenches and pipes, water supply valves, hydrants

and pipelines;

Gas – Pits, trenches and pipelines

VicTrack – rail tracks, crossings and signage used by pedestrians and vehicles

Telstra – poles, overhead cables, pits and trenches

Optus - poles, overhead cables, pits and trenches

United Energy – poles, overhead electric cables, pits and trenches

VicRoads – State road pavements, surfaces, kerb and channel, signage

5.5 Incident Inspections

As soon as practicable, but within 14 days of

receiving Notice of Incident under Section 115

of the Act, the Council, pursuant to Section

116 of the Act, will undertake an inspection

and prepare a condition report of the part of

the public road or infrastructure, specified in

the notice.



For the purposes of risk management, in any

case where Council becomes aware of

circumstances that may lead to an “Incident”,

it will cause an inspection to be carried out as

soon as practicable to record the conditions

existing at the site and to note any

extraordinary matters that may be relevant. All

inspections and details should be recorded

5.6 Records of Inspections and Works

Records of all inspections and maintenance

works undertaken on the road network are kept

to meet the requirements of the Act and this

RMP in accordance with Council’s Records

and Information Management Policy



6 PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

AND REVIEW

6.1 Performance Monitoring

Performance monitoring is undertaken as

follows:

As part of monthly monitoring/reporting

all Council activities;

Monitoring and review of customer

Appendix 5 Road Management Agreements



APPENDIX 1 ROAD MAINTENANCE – LEVEL OF SERVICE (Risk Assessment, Intervention Levels, Rectification Works and Response Times)

Defect Intervention Level

The defect intervention levels detailed in these Levels of Service should be considered as indicative and as a guide to the intervention level that will activate

rectification works by Council.

Rectification Works

Rectification works for all defects can be:

temporary repairs to make safe (eg cold mix);

permanent repair to replace with like (ie pit covers, digout and replace pavement section);

installation of barricading and/or warning signs until a temporary or permanent repairs are carried out.

Response Time

Unless otherwise indicated, response times are in working days and generally reflect the time to be taken to repair defects identified by regular inspections

undertaken by Council staff – including programmed (routine) defect inspections - and for defects notified from the public.

Where it is not possible to carry out the rectification works within the specified time – type of repair required, resources, equipment required, work load - the

necessary warning signs and protection will be provided until the required repairs are carried out.

It should be noted that asset defects identified by Council staff during programmed inspections of the municipality may not be rectified within the response

times specified as the demand on Council maintenance resources is too high taking into account the other maintenance & reinstatement works. Extension of

response times by a multiple factor of 3 may occur and still be considered as acceptable within the intent of Kingston’s RMP.
