Council undertakes grading of unsealed roads in accordance with the Unsealed Road Maintenance - Grading Policy.(PDF, 157KB) The grading schedule takes into account factors impacting on the performance of the road network including traffic, terrain, budget and gravel quality and quantity.
To see what grading category a local unsealed road is, download the Unsealed-Local-Roads-Grading-Categories.pdf(PDF, 117KB)
here.
There are times (e.g. during prolonged wet or dry weather) where the condition of unsealed roads may deteriorate and motorists will need to drive to the prevailing conditions. Crews also undertake inspections of roads as they are reported and schedule these for grading if required.
Should road users identify a particular problem or are concerned about the significant deterioration of a road, please contact us and we will arrange for an inspection. You can also report this online here.

A roadside grazing permit is issued to ratepayers within the Local Government Area who have stock that require grazing along the roadside. This type of permit is issued for a short period of time, over a specific section of road and usually in times of drought or for hazard reduction purposes. The permit is issued to the landholder and stock are usually returned to the property at night for safety.
Council will issue a permit, but you are also required to apply through Local Land Services for final approval to undertake the roadside grazing.
Roadside Grazing Permits are limited to your property boundary. You will need to have written consent from the neighbouring property to allow grazing on their property front. Council will send a copy of the written consent to Local Land Services.
Grazing is not permitted during any pesticide withholding period following chemical application. This can include Council’s regular transport maintenance or biosecurity programs. Proposed grazing dates must be provided to Council in writing and no roadside grazing is to be undertaken unless written confirmation has been supplied by Council that withholding periods do not apply to the proposed dates.
Grazing is not permitted on land that has less than 80% vegetation cover. This requirement is to avoid excessive run-off and slope destabilisation that comes with over-grazed or bare land.
Grazing is only permitted between the hours of 9:00am - 3:00pm Monday to Friday, to ensure livestock are not on the road during peak traffic hours of the day.
You must display approved livestock warning signs for the duration of the grazing period and provide a Traffic Control Plan. You will need to attach a Traffic Management Plan(PDF, 103KB) to your grazing permit application. All signage must be removed at the conclusion of each grazing activity. For information regarding approved signs visit – https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/operations/roads-and-waterways/traffic-signs
When grazing is permitted and undertaken, a vehicle is to be positioned at each end of the stock with a flashing light operating as well as hazard lights on.
If the proposed area has endangered species the permit will NOT be issued, and Local Land Services will be made aware.
You will need to supply a Certificate of Currency for at least $20 million Public Liability Cover, with the policy specifically indicating an extension to cover roadside grazing. The insurance must be maintained for any period during which grazing is undertaken.

We are also responsible for the maintenance of footpaths. Each year we undertake repairs, maintenance and construct new footpaths in line with our Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan.
To address a shortfall in asset maintenance, the former Queanbeyan City Council gained approval for a one-off 5.8% Special Rate Variation in 2010-11. This Special Rate Variation, known as the CityCARE Levy, funds upgrades and maintenance to Queanbeyan’s roads, footpaths, parks and sportsfields.
In regards to roads, Council allocates approximately $650,000-$700,000 towards pavement rehabilitation and bitumen resealing of the Queanbeyan road network. An additional $250,000 (approximately) is allocated to footpath maintenance and replacement. This funding is on top of the regular maintenance works that Council undertakes in the Queanbeyan area.
You can report a problem to Council, including potholes or damaged footpaths by:
- Using the Snap Send Solve app. This is available for download at the Apple app store or Google play.
- Report an issue online here or call us on: 1300 735 025.
