Why do potholes appear?

The older roads get, the more susceptible they are to weather elements and wear and tear.

Potholes appear in roads due to the surface deteriorating, leading to cracks that allow water to get in and lift the road surface.

Once water finds its way under the road base, damage occurs.

Traffic can also weaken the surface over a number of years.

Potholes grow bigger the longer they are left unattended.

Is filling a pothole a permanent solution?

Filling a pothole is a temporary fix.

Wet weather can see the same pothole appear in the same area.

When is the best time to fix a pothole?

When the wet weather has passed and the ground is dry. 

Filling a pothole during wet weather can often lead to it recurring during the same wet weather event.

Why isn’t this pothole fixed yet?

During wet weather we get many calls from residents about potholes and our staff inspect and prioritise these road repair requests as quickly as possible. 

When assessing a repair we consider:

  • location
  • size
  • safety concerns
  • upcoming works programs
  • number of vehicles that use the road.
