Potholes in Warrnambool
Warrnambool City Council
Hit a pothole in Warrnambool? 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.
