“Pothole of the Week” is our way of highlighting the deplorable condition of our roads—and since a state Labor MP’s office recently told us to “send photos and locations,” we’re taking them at their word.
At the local level, the shire has unanimously adopted its 2025 Road Management Plan, which sets out its responsibilities for inspecting, maintaining, and repairing the roads under its control. The next step is turning that plan into real action, backed by appropriate funding, to ensure the local road network is properly maintained.
And now, here are this week’s potholes – real examples of the problems drivers are dealing with and a reminder of why both state and local authorities must follow through on their responsibilities.
