Frankston and Kingston · 4.3 km²

Who to report a pothole in Patterson Lakes to

Patterson Lakes is split across Frankston City Council and Kingston City 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.

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 Patterson Lakes

Nothing yet. That is not a claim that Patterson Lakes'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 Patterson Lakes 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.
