FAQs

Council is advocating for a number of key roads that are managed by the Department of Transport and Planning, including Murdoch Road, Greta Road, and the Snow Road, among others.

Improving outcomes for cyclists is a part of the Wangaratta-Whitfield Road advocacy. We understand that the King Valley is growing in popularity for cyclists, and want to encourage that as part of this program of works.
