Potholes in Yarra Ranges

Yarra Ranges Shire Council

Hit a pothole in Yarra Ranges? 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.

Report a pothole in Yarra Ranges

Roads in Yarra Ranges that are not Yarra Ranges Shire Council's

35 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 Yarra Ranges

Nothing yet — nobody has filed a report routed to Yarra Ranges Shire Council. The register publishes only what somebody actually photographed, so this says something about how new we are rather than about Yarra Ranges's roads.
