Whittlesea identifies 1302 road defects, blames transport department neglect

Melbourne's City of Whittlesea identified 1302 road defects across 206 kilometres of state-owned roads, blaming the Department of Transport for deteriorating conditions. Mayor Lawrie Cox called the situation "nothing short of a disgrace," citing maintenance frequency dropped from every eight weeks to six months after contractor changes in 2021. A resident paid $3000 in car repairs from pothole damage.
