Fixing Local Roads Pothole Repair Round

What is the Fixing Local Roads Pothole Repair Round?

The $50 million Fixing Local Roads Pothole Repair Round supplements existing funding and support additional efforts by local councils in the short-term repair of priority potholes and road repairs on local and regional roads.

The NSW Road network is over 180,000 kilometres in length, with local councils responsible for maintaining well over 85 per cent of this network. The Fixing Local Roads Pothole Repair Round provides funding to alleviate the considerable cost being incurred by councils to maintain their local and regional roads to an acceptable standard, improving everyday journeys for regional communities.

Recent weather events have increased the impact of potholes on local and regional roads, increasing the workload and cost for councils. This additional funding boost supplements the funding provided to councils through the Fixing Local Roads Program, assisting councils with their ongoing maintenance.

Applications opened in October 2022 and closed on 8 November 2022 - 94 regional councils across NSW benefiting from funding in the Pothole Repair Round.

The Fixing Local Roads Pothole Repair Round is available to local government bodies in regional NSW.
