Report a pothole in Wombat Creek
Who to report a pothole in Wombat Creek to
Local streets in Wombat Creek are East Gippsland Shire Council's to maintain and repair.
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 Wombat Creek
Nothing yet. That is not a claim that Wombat Creek'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 Wombat Creek 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.
