Report road hazards

footpath damage and tripping hazards
potholes
oil and other road spills
dead animals on the road
graffiti
dumped needles and syringes
frequent road accident locations
excessive speed and traffic volume
inappropriate driver behaviour such as parking across driveways, cutting corners and bends
requests for changes in parking arrangements

Stormwater drain damage

Property owners are responsible for repairs to their stormwater drainage pipe, from the boundary of their property to the kerb and channel (or drain/pit).

We are responsible for fixing problems with Council drains, pits, and the kerb and channel, including:

blocked stormwater drains
broken pit lids

For more information, see stormwater drainage.

Driveway damage

If the footpath section of a driveway (also known as vehicle crossing or crossover) is considered dangerous, we will pay for any works required to repair the footpath. The landowner is responsible for repairing the rest of the driveway.
