Local roads, sportsgrounds, parks, and trees are set to be maintained to new standards under contracts recently awarded by Melton City Council.
From 1 July, Council will enter into four separate contracts that will provide more tailored and effective services across the City of Melton, replacing the previous maintenance schedule under one contractor.
The contracts will require more specific servicing to ensure the growing City of Melton community continues to have well-maintained sportsgrounds, parks, trees, and roads year-round.
Each of the contracts has also created more local jobs, and employed local people.
The changes were informed by community feedback gathered in Council's Parks and Roads Maintenance Satisfaction Survey in 2021.
"We are delighted to partner with organisations that have committed to employ locals and bring much-needed jobs to the City of Melton," City of Melton Mayor Cr Goran Kesic said.
"As our population grows, the community expects roads, parks, and recreation facilities to improve and we are dedicated to delivering just that.
"Each of these companies are specialists in their own area of expertise across roads, trees, parks
and sportsgrounds and that's why we've made the decision to go with them."
