The Adelaide Hills Council aspires to ensure that all decisions regarding the built environment recognise and reflect the Hills' unique character and natural environment to maintain and enhance liveability for our community.
Council manages more than 590 kilometres of sealed roads throughout the region, which are monitored and maintained by our maintenance crews. Due to the extensive geographical area, we appreciate our community reporting any faults or concerns such as potholes, blocked drains or damaged footpath. To make a report, please contact Customer Service during office hours.
Our maintenance crews will then inspect and if required repair the fault. Occasionally, during a peak rainstorm period, there may be delays due to the large volume of incoming requests. Your patience is appreciated during these times.
In some instances, the issue may require more than a simple maintenance repair. Such issues will be escalated for further investigation.
