15. Arrangements to transfer road management functions





(1) A road authority may enter into an arrangement with another road authority
or a utility to transfer a road management function of the road authority that
would otherwise apply under section 36 or 37 with respect to a road to the
other road authority or to the utility.

(1A) A road authority may enter into an arrangement with a utility to transfer
a road management function of the utility to the road authority.

(2) If a road authority has entered into an arrangement under this section in
respect of a public road, the road authority must include the details of the
arrangement in its register of public roads.

(3) While an arrangement is in force under this section, the road management
functions of each party to the arrangement have effect subject to the
arrangement.

Example Specified road management functions in respect of a section of a road
or a particular piece of infrastructure may be transferred by agreement from
VicRoads to a municipal council or from a municipal council to VicRoads. If
this occurs, the road authority to which the road management function is
transferred becomes the road authority for the purposes of this Act according
to the tenor of the arrangement.
