With welcome rain over the past week comes unwelcome potholes.
The chances are many road users have hit their fair share of irritating potholes, so Sunshine Coast Council is urging residents to keep their eyes peeled and report damaged roads.
During the wet spell our roads have held strongly, however some areas across the Coast have had more significant weather impacts, under the downpours.
Council crews have been busy patching potholes and are welcoming the community’s assistance in locating any that have emerged during the recent deluge.
Council looks after 2972 kilometres of local roads and bridges.
Customer Service Portfolio Councillor Ted Hungerford said safety is paramount when it comes to locals and visitors on our roads.
“It’s council’s number one priority to keep our roads and users safe, so we have repair crews closely monitoring and maintaining emerging potholes,” Cr Hungerford said.
“However, we always appreciate the community’s efforts in alerting us to any repairs needed, especially on local residential streets.
“So please don’t hesitate to let us know if there is a pothole near you – the quicker our team knows about the job, the quicker it’s actioned and filled.”
To report a pothole on a council road, you can lodge an eRequest online, chat with a Customer Service Officer using council’s Live Chat, or contact council’s Customer Contact Centre on 5475 7272.
