VSA Roads Pty Ltd proposes to acquire the spray sealing and line marking assets of SprayLine Road Services, a business operated by Head, Transport for Victoria. This asset acquisition follows the Victorian Government's divestment of its internal road maintenance provider, both active in bituminous surfacing and road maintenance.
VSA Roads Pty Ltd ( VSA ) proposes to acquire the assets of SprayLine Road Services ( SprayLine ), a business operated by Head, Transport for Victoria ( Head TfV ) (the Acquisition ). Head TfV is a statutory authority that operates and maintains the road system in Victoria. VSA supplies quarried and bituminous products, together with specialist contract paving and bituminous surfacing services (including spray sealing and line marking services) across South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales, and the Northern Territory. SprayLine supplies bituminous spray sealing, line marking, and road maintenance services across Victoria, New South Wales, and South Australia. The Victorian Government has decided to no longer operate an internal road maintenance provider, which has resulted in the divestment of SprayLine's spray sealing and line marking business. The Acquisition relates only to the spray sealing and line marking activities of SprayLine.
The ACCC has prepared a questionnaire on the Acquisition. Submissions or information in response to the questionnaire should be provided by 14 July 2026 via email to mergers@accc.gov.au with the title Submission re: VSA–SprayLine . The ACCC’s ability to give detailed consideration to submissions received after this time may be limited.
