Potholes in Ashbourne
Macedon Ranges and Moorabool · 39 km²
Hit a pothole in Ashbourne? Put it on the public record — a photo, where it is and the date, in about 30 seconds and with no account. That record is what shows a road authority was on notice, which is what matters later if it damages someone's car.
Who to report a pothole in Ashbourne to
Ashbourne is split across Macedon Ranges Shire Council and Moorabool Shire Council. Which one applies depends on which side of the boundary the pothole is on.

On the register in Ashbourne
Nothing yet. That is not a claim that Ashbourne's roads are fine — it means nobody has filed one here. This register only ever publishes what somebody actually photographed, so an empty suburb says something about us, not about the road.
If a pothole in Ashbourne 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, not the year you claim in. What that means for a claim.
