Victorians are being encouraged to highlight the worst potholes in the state through a campaign to apply more pressure on the Allan Government to fix roads.
The photo competition with the best (or worst) potholes to feature in a 2025 “Potholes for All Seasons” Calendar that will be presented to Premier Jacinta Allan and Roads and Road Safety Minister Melissa Horne, is continuing to attract entries.
Victorians are invited to submit photos of potholes or road damage they believe require urgent attention to http://www.potholepics.com
The Nationals’ Member for Mildura, Jade Benham, said Victoria’s roads have been going backwards for years after successive road maintenance budget cuts under Labor.
“Victorians know our roads are in a deplorable state and they are angry about it,” Ms Benham said. “It is time to put pressure on the government to act on maintaining our roads.
“This year’s road maintenance budget is 16 per cent less than it was four years ago and this government’s own survey last year found 91 per cent of roads reviewed were in a poor or very poor state.
Ms Benham encouraged motorists to only take photos of roads where they can do so safely and without putting other road users at risk.
