Potholes in Whittlesea

Mitchell and Whittlesea · 106.5 km²

Hit a pothole in Whittlesea? 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.

Report a pothole in Whittlesea

Who to report a pothole in Whittlesea to

Whittlesea is split across Mitchell Shire Council and Whittlesea 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.

On the register in Whittlesea

Nothing yet. That is not a claim that Whittlesea'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 Whittlesea 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.
