Potholes in Cressy
Colac Otway and Corangamite and Golden Plains · 115.6 km²
Hit a pothole in Cressy? 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 Cressy to
Cressy is split across Colac Otway Shire Council and Corangamite Shire Council and Golden Plains Shire Council. Which one applies depends on which side of the boundary the pothole is on.
These roads are not the council’s
They are maintained by the Department of Transport and Planning, not by the local council. A pothole on one of them reported to the council can sit unactioned because it was never theirs to fix.

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