Potholes in Merri-Bek
Merri-Bek City Council
Hit a pothole in Merri-Bek? 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 Merri-Bek that are not Merri-Bek City Council's
36 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 Merri-Bek
Nothing yet — nobody has filed a report routed to Merri-Bek City Council. The register publishes only what somebody actually photographed, so this says something about how new we are rather than about Merri-Bek's roads.
If a pothole in Merri-Bek damaged your car
