Ballarat's wettest winter in 45 years leaves more than 370 potholes to fill

Ballarat's most recent winter was the wettest in 45 years. The council filled more than 370 potholes between June and August and now plans road repairs costing more than $6 million.

Why it mattersBad roads cost drivers money in vehicle repairs and slow travel. They also create safety risks. Heavy investment now stops worse damage later.

AustraliaBallarat residents will see road conditions improve over the coming months, though some work depends on the state government repairing its own roads like the Western Freeway.
