Smarter Road Management with RACAS® – Quilpie Shire Council

Driving excellence in regional road management, the SHEPHERD team recently visited Quilpie Shire Council to deliver our comprehensive RACAS® road survey, condition assessment, and priority works program.

Over three engagements, we captured data from Quilpie’s vast road network, including 200 km of sealed roads and 1,854 km of unsealed roads. With this invaluable RACAS® data, combined with SHEPHERD’s expert analysis, Quilpie Shire Council gains:

  • Detailed Condition Profiles and Priority Works Programs
  • Side-by-Side Image Comparisons for tracking road deterioration and improvements
  • Evidence-Based Insights for future planning and benchmarking against other councils

As part of our commitment to supporting regional communities, SHEPHERD has also made a donation to the Quilpie Golf Club for the 2025 Quilpie Gold Open. It’s our way of giving back to the regions and fostering vibrant, connected communities.

A big thank you to the Quilpie Shire team, especially Eng Lim and Brian Weeks, for their dedication to maintaining sustainable, well-managed roads for their community.

Together, we’re building better roads and smarter solutions for regional Australia.

Here’s what our client thinks: 

Fantastic SHEPHERD – great work! Thanks for this robust data, we will be developing a 4-year rolling program for road maintenance and capital works, ensuring a proactive and sustainable approach to infrastructure management. Additionally, it enables us to prioritise and plan shovel-ready projects, making us well-positioned to secure external funding opportunities when they arise.
