The NSW Government will spend $200 million to deliver a pothole and road maintenance blitz across Sydney’s busiest corridors.
This investment brings Greater Sydney’s total road maintenance funding for 2025-26 to $488 million.
Over 5100 potholes have already been repaired across Sydney’s roads in August and September.
Work under this program will be prioritised based on:
- Traffic volumes;
- The location and severity of the pothole; and
- The road’s importance for freight, bus services, and emergency access.
Premier of New South Wales, Chris Minns said: “We know how frustrating it is for drivers to deal with damaged roads and potholes, especially after one of Sydney’s wettest winters on record.
“This $200 million blitz will help make sure our roads are safer and more reliable, while supporting the crews who are already working hard every day to keep Sydney moving.”
Minister for Roads Jenny Aitchison added, “This blitz for Sydney’s key corridors is an investment in reliable, resilient infrastructure that keeps the city moving.”
Around 15 per cent of pothole repairs are identified through public reports, which can be made to Transport for NSW online here, or by phoning 131 700.
In 2024, across Sydney’s road network, 10,879 potholes were repaired, almost 1 million square metres of road was resurfaced and there were 344,000 linear metres of new line markings.
In August 2025, the NSW Government also announced $155 million in accelerated funding for a maintenance blitz across regional NSW, bringing total maintenance investment in non-metropolitan communities to $1.25 billion this financial year.
