Potholes in Caringal
Baw Baw · 71.9 km²
Hit a pothole in Caringal? 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 Caringal to
Local streets in Caringal are Baw Baw Shire Council's to maintain and repair.
This road is not the council’s
It is maintained by the Department of Transport and Planning, not by the local council. A pothole on it reported to the council can sit unactioned because it was never theirs to fix.

Roads already documented as bad
Published assessments by other organisations, quoted with their source. These are not reports on this register and cannot support a damage claim — they are where to look.

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