31/10/2022Council has continued to fix potholes and other road defects following significant rainfall and flooding events, with over 73,000 potholes patched since March.
Only temporary repair works can be done in wet weather, which is why potholes can reappear within only weeks of repair. During dry weather more permanent pothole repairs and other solutions can be done.
Periods of better weather has enabled longer term solutions and road renewals to commence. We’ve also allocated an extra $2.5M maintenance for permanent repairs in 22-23, which have commenced.
Last week, Council welcomed the NSW Government’s announcement it will invest $50 million to help regional and rural councils fix the increasing number of potholes brought on by this year’s extreme wet weather. Council has held discussions with Transport for NSW and is applying for funding to further assist in the repair of the Central Coast road network.
