Potholes in Broughton
Hindmarsh and West Wimmera · 157.2 km²
Hit a pothole in Broughton? 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 Broughton to
Broughton is split across Hindmarsh Shire Council and West Wimmera Shire Council. Which one applies depends on which side of the boundary the pothole is on.

On the register in Broughton
Nothing yet. That is not a claim that Broughton'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 Broughton 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.
