Reporting roads needing repairs
You can help us to keep Queensland’s roads safe by letting us know when they need fixing.
When to report a road for repair
Let us know about:
- potholes
- traffic lights not working
- road hazards, such as items that have fallen from vehicles, tyre debris, fallen trees, and dead or alive animals
- flooding damage or debris
- damaged or missing guardrails
- where lots of crashes, incidents or near misses happen.
How to report a road for repair
Major roads
Report an urgent issue affecting traffic on a state-controlled road on 13 19 40.
If the issue with a state-controlled road is not urgent, you can use our online feedback form to let us know that it needs fixing.
State-controlled roads include:
- motorways
- highways
- arterial roads
- major connecting roads.
Use our Road Lookup service to find out who owns the road. You can also view the state road network maps of Queensland to check if a road is state-controlled. This will ensure your report is sent to the correct government agency.
Other roads and streets
All other roads and streets are locally controlled.
Contact your local council to report locally controlled roads and streets outside of Brisbane.
If there's an urgent issue with a locally controlled road or street in the Brisbane City Council area, phone 3403 8888 (24 hours, 7 days) to report it.
If you're aware of an issue that's not urgent with a locally controlled road or street in the Brisbane City Council area, you can report it online.
