Ballarat roads

The Petition of residents in Victoria. and the Ballarat Ratepayers Association calls on the Legislative Assembly to note that: Ballarat’s roads are increasingly in a dangerous condition and unfit for purpose. Ballarat’s roads have deteriorated in recent years so much so 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 call 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.
