Condition Ratings

We aim to keep our paths in good condition, with a rating of 3 or better. This helps us replace paths at the right time and make sure paths stay safe to use, ensuring we don’t replace them too early and waste useful life.

Condition 1 – New constructed path

Generally constructed within the last 5 years. Smooth surface with no trip hazards.

Condition 2 – Path in good condition

Generally, 5-20 years old. The path is generally flat with no trip hazards. These paths may have some discolouring and some minor grinding undertaken to them.

Condition 3 - Serviceable path

Paths in sound condition with some major elements of grinding and patch repairs. The path has a flat surface but some different colour panels along the path where Council have undertaken defect repairs. Paths are still free of trip hazards and have a flat surface. This is our current service level and we aim to keep all paths in a condition 3 or better.

Condition 4 – Poor condition path

Major trip hazards and potentially dangerous to path users. Paths are not flat and are unsafe.
Our service level ensures no paths reach this point

Condition 5 – Unsafe path

Our service level ensures no paths reach this point.
