Hume region

Find out about the maintenance work being done in the Hume region. 


We’re busy rebuilding, repairing and resurfacing roads right across the state, including key routes across the Hume Region.

This year's road maintenance program is targeting high-traffic areas and busy freight routes, including some of the most important roads connecting communities in the north east.

We regularly inspect roads and carry out emergency repairs as needed, while more extensive works, such as road rebuilding and rehabilitation, are delivered during the warmer, drier months from September to May to ensure repairs are long-lasting.
