Potholes in Darebin
Darebin City Council
Hit a pothole in Darebin? Put it on the public record — a photo, the location and the date, in about 30 seconds and with no account. We work out which authority owns that stretch from where you pin it, so a report on a state arterial does not sit in a council queue that was never going to action it.
Roads in Darebin that are not Darebin City Council's
27 roads through this council area are managed by the Department of Transport and Planning. Reporting a defect on one of them to the council is the most common reason a pothole report goes nowhere — it was never theirs to fix, and the clock that matters for a damage claim never starts.

On the register in Darebin
Nothing yet — nobody has filed a report routed to Darebin City Council. The register publishes only what somebody actually photographed, so this says something about how new we are rather than about Darebin's roads.
If a pothole in Darebin damaged your car
Victoria's Road Management Act sets a threshold below which a road authority has no liability at all. For 2026-27 it is $1,681, assessed against the financial year the damage happened in. What that means for a claim.
