Ballarat roads

This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly that Ballarat’s roads are increasingly in a dangerous condition and unfit for purpose. Ballarat’s roads have deteriorated in recent years so much that drivers are frequently damaging their cars from the potholes and rough surfaces. However, the provisions of the Road Management Act make it largely impossible to gain redress.

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly calls on the State Government to invest properly in maintaining Ballarat’s roads so they can better serve the community of Ballarat and to amend the Road Management Act threshold amount and redesign it in such a way to make it financially viable to pursue and prove negligence.
