Potholes, Sydney is full of them. They start as small cracks or superficial wear and tear along paved surfaces, but quickly they become dangerous holes in driveways, car parks, and roads.
Usually, a pothole is formed when too much moisture seeps into bitumen or asphalt surfaces. This could be due to poor moisture protection or swelling groundwaters. Either way, fluctuating temperatures cause the water to expand and contract, leaving underground voids that weaken the integrity of surfaces.
In Sydney, these pothole problems are worsened by Australian weather. The sun’s intense heat softens asphalt and bitumen, making the weight of passing vehicles damage surfaces at much faster rates.
The sooner you patch repair a pothole, the less damage it can cause to people, vehicles, and infrastructure. Timely maintenance is crucial for three key reasons:
Potholes contribute to poor road conditions, increasing the risk of motorist accidents. They are especially dangerous for smaller vehicles, like motorcycles, which expose their drivers to more serious injury on Sydney roads. Leaving a pothole unattended for any amount of time can cause an otherwise preventable crash.
In addition to personal injury, hitting a pothole can also cause significant damage to the vehicle itself. This includes tire punctures, damage to the suspension, and tire misalignment. Even if it's just minor damage in your driveway, timely repair could prevent an unwanted trip to the mechanic down the line.
If potholes are left unattended, they grow larger and cause more extensive damage to the road surface. Early repairs prolong the lifespan of paved surfaces, reducing the need for more extensive repairs later. It's much cheaper to do a small pothole replace or crossover edge repair than to rebuild an entire section of road.

Costs for road repair escalate quickly. For 2024-25 alone, NSW has budgeted $3.3 billion, and that’s just to repair local roads impacted by natural disasters and extreme weather. For comprehensive asphalt pothole repair, costs generally fall between $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the extent of the damage and the accessibility of the location.
There are also cheaper pothole patching solutions for superficial damage, but they are not long-term fixes.

Potholes form when water seeps into cracks in the road surface, freezes, and then thaws, expanding the cracks. Vehicle traffic then worsens the damage, causing the road to crater.
Repairs typically involve cleaning the hole, adding an asphalt patch, and compacting it to create a smooth, safe surface.
Costs can vary, but typically minor pothole repairs in Sydney cost around $100-200 per pothole-if you spot them early. Larger or complex repairs obviously increase the costs involved. Contact T&L Excavations & Asphalting and we’ll give you a realistic quote for road repair.
Yes, local councils are generally responsible for repairing potholes on council-managed roads. Not every road is government-owned, however, so it’s always best to call your local council to confirm.
Hitting a pothole can cause damage to your tire alignment, suspension, or simply cause erratic movement on the road. So, yes, you should avoid driving over potholes when it’s safe to maneuver around them. If you can’t avoid a pothole, treat them like a speed hump and reduce your speed before approaching.
‘Hot mix asphalt repair’ is a reliable pothole repair process that ensures long-term durability. This is preferred over temporary, cold mix pothole patching, which is used for quick fixes.
If you see a pothole, you should notify your council so they can have it promptly repaired. You can report any pothole you see via local council websites or through the NSW Service app.
