Report a road issue

  • 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. 
  • Did you know that not all local roads in Cardinia Shire are managed by Council? Before you report a road issue to us, please check to make sure the road is a Council road, rather than a state managed 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.

Did you know that not all local roads are managed by Council?

While Council manages over 1600km of local roads stretching from the flats through our growth corridor and up into the Hills, many major arterial roads, highways, and freeways are managed by the Department of Transport (DTP) and some roads may be privately managed. 

Before you report a road issue to us, we’d really appreciate it if you could please check to make sure it’s a Council road first. 

  • If the issue is on a DTP road: Please report it to them by calling 13 11 70 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) or visiting the VicRoads website
  • If the road is not managed by DTP: Please report it to us using the Report a road issue form or by calling 1300 787 624
