You’ve told us that roads matter and we’re listening.

Our road crews have filled over 28,927 potholes this financial year, that’s an extra 7,224 than this time last year.

There’s still work to be done.

Our crews are on the roads every week to inspect, record defects and undertake basic pothole filing (as the first level of maintenance to keep the roads open and safe).  

We’ve increased our spend on road renewal to focus on delivering longer term solutions our region’s 2,200km road network.

This financial year, Council is scheduled to deliver approximately 60 km of road renewals, and we are investing $27M into the road renewal program (including grant funding from the Australian Government).

Pothole crews are out and about this week

This week we are undertaking pothole repairs in Bateau Bay, Copacabana, Charmhaven, MacMasters Beach, North Gosford, Rocky Point and Wyoming and road renewal works in Bateau Bay (Hillcrest Ave and Promenade Ave), Ettalong (Broken Bay Rd), Jilliby (Hue Hue Rd), Lemon Tree (Dooralong Rd) and Tumbi Umbi (Palm Valley Rd).

Did you know? 

We continue to implement short, medium, and long-term strategies to manage and prevent potholes across the Central Coast’s road network. Basic pothole filing is the first level of maintenance to keep the road safe for the public. Where potholes consistently reoccur or the road deteriorates further, a more substantial and longer lasting heavy patch repair is considered - based on what has been done to date, the risk profile and what renewal work is planned for that section of the road. For the longer term, renewal works are undertaken which include rehabilitation and resurfacing of the pavement.

Please report potholes, specific road maintenance or safety concerns to Council through our online Customer Service Centre, or call 02 4306 7900.
