Report a pothole in Mount Bute
Who to report a pothole in Mount Bute to
Mount Bute is split across Corangamite Shire Council and Golden Plains 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.

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