Report a road issue

About

  • Reports to council for road maintenance requests have increased more than 130% compared to 2021. Potholes are an especially big issue at the moment. 
  • We know we've got a lot of work to do on our roads, and we've put extra resources into road maintenance in response. 
  • Not all roads in Cardinia Shire are managed by Council - here's a list list of major shire roads that are managed by the Department of Transport (VicRoads) - and an interactive map. Before you report a road issue to us, please check to make sure the road is a Council road, rather than a VicRoads road. 
  • We appreciate you taking the time to report a road issue to us - we proactively inspect our roads but your report helps us to prioritise works. 
  • Once you report the road issue, we'll respond to you within 5 business days.
  • Our online maintenance schedule tool is currently offline due to technical difficulties. We're working to get it back online as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience.
