Roads
The District Council of Grant has a large road network consisting of some 505 kilometres of sealed road and 1,030 kilometres of unsealed road to maintain.
Council continues to strive for a road network which is well maintained and accessible to visitors and residents.

- Princes Highway from the District Council of Grant boundary to the Victorian Border
- Riddoch Highway from Tarpeena to Port MacDonnell
- Casterton Road from the Princes Highway to the Victorian Border
- Nelson Road from the City of Mount Gambier boundary to the Victorian Border
- Carpenter Rocks Road from Grant Avenue to Dixons Road

Council constructs footpaths based on the needs within the area and safety considerations. New footpaths are generally built beside major roads, where the pedestrian numbers are greater.
