Potholes in Modella
Baw Baw and Cardinia · 30.1 km²
Hit a pothole in Modella? 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 Modella to
Modella is split across Baw Baw Shire Council and Cardinia Shire Council. Which one applies depends on which side of the boundary the pothole is on.
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 Modella
Nothing yet. That is not a claim that Modella'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 Modella 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.
