Grading gives unsealed roads a freshen up. It works to improve the quality and longevity of a road, generally making it smoother.

Read our fact sheet on our unsealed road network.

You can view the progress of our patrol grading as it happens by using the live, interactive maps below. One map displays our grading progress for the current year, the other displays the progress from last year.

You can read more about our road categories and how we manage our roads on a regional scale by reading our Asset Management Plan (Transport).

Road categories: as a general guide, category 1 and 2 roads are graded four times a year, a category 3 is done three times a year, category 4 is twice a year and category 5 and 6 are done at least once a year.

Please note although we intend to achieve the targets of our Asset Management Plan, this may change due to weather conditions and other factors.

The maps will take a few seconds to appear.
