AT's dispatch log gives Waiheke a pattern no other part of Auckland has: no pothole season at all. 696 dispatches spread evenly year-round, Trig Hill Rd on top with 47, and 44.6% of public reports closed with no repair recorded. The island's worst roads, listed.

Here's the league table nobody expected: South Auckland has the region's best pothole record. 99.1% of dispatches on target, median response 30 minutes, and the lowest rate of binned reports in urban Auckland. Great South Rd still tops the repair list — the full top-15, road by road.

AT's dispatch log maps the urban north's pothole load: 3,530 jobs from Devonport to Whangaparaoa. Scott Rd tops the list, Hibiscus Coast Highway and East Coast Rd follow — and 51% of public reports were closed with no repair recorded, including 44% of reports AT itself classed Emergency.

AT's dispatch log names central Auckland's worst pothole streets — Remuera Rd (63 jobs), Glass Rd (60), Dominion Rd (51) — and hands Central the region's worst response record: 1 in 7 dispatches missed target, and 48% of public reports closed with no repair recorded.

AT's dispatch log names West Auckland's pothole capitals: Huia Rd (161 jobs), West Coast Rd (93), Tawhia Rd (81) — the bush-and-clay roads of the Waitākere Ranges lead, with Henderson's arterials close behind. 3,945 dispatches, 42% of public reports closed with no repair recorded.

Auckland Transport's dispatch log puts Franklin second only to Rodney for potholes: 5,569 jobs in 29 months across the rural south. Ararimu Rd leads with 161, ahead of Clevedon-Kawakawa Rd and Whitford-Maraetai Rd. The full top-15 — plus the sharpest winter surge in Auckland.

Auckland Transport's own dispatch log makes Rodney the region's pothole capital: 6,703 pothole jobs in 29 months, more than any other area. Wayby Valley Rd alone logged 186 — one every five days. And 86% of public reports in Rodney were closed with no repair recorded. The full top-15 list, road by road.

Auckland Transport's dispatch log proves what every contractor knows: potholes are seasonal. Winter peaks every year, and July 2025 set the record — 2,029 dispatches in one month, one pothole every 22 minutes. Here's the mechanism, the data, and why mid-June is the right week to fix your own asphalt.

Auckland Transport's LGOIMA-released dispatch data names the region's pothole capitals: Rodney (6,753) and Franklin (5,539) carry almost half of all pothole dispatches, with Waitākere and Albany next. Why the rural edges of Auckland take the hammering — and what it means if you own a driveway or carpark there.

Under LGOIMA, Auckland Transport released its full pothole dispatch log: 26,863 records from January 2024 to June 2026. The data shows a system that responds fast when it acts — 96% within target — but closes 28% of reports with no repair and no recorded reason, while annual spend has tripled. Here's the full breakdown.

The hole is 1 m wide but the quote says 16 m² — is the contractor having you on? No: the repair has to end in sound asphalt, not in the fatigued material around the hole, or it re-cracks at its own edge within a season. Here's the engineering behind cut-back, what joint sealing does, and how to read a repair quote properly.

A puddle that sits on asphalt after the rain stops is the cheapest warning you will ever get. Standing water means the surface has deformed — and water is the engine that turns a dip into alligator cracking and then a pothole. Here's how to read what the puddle means, what it costs to ignore, and what fixing it properly looks like.

Yes — you can asphalt over a concrete driveway, and it's a common job in NZ. But whether it's the right move depends on the concrete underneath. Here's what decides it, when it works, when repairing the concrete is the smarter spend, and how it's priced.

When a car is damaged or someone is hurt by a pothole on a private carpark or driveway, the council usually isn't who pays — the property owner or body corporate may be. Here's the plain-English position for NZ owners and managers, and the cheapest way to protect yourself.

Asphalt and driveway cowboys cost New Zealanders thousands every year — repairs that fail in months, debris tamped into potholes, cash-only no-warranty jobs. Here are seven red flags to check before you let anyone touch your driveway or carpark, and the questions that separate a real repair from a quick cover-up.

Raised asphalt lips, sunken patches and broken edges on a carpark, footpath or driveway are a trip-and-fall waiting to happen. Rapidpatch remediates asphalt trip hazards across Auckland — photo-quoted, fixed price, with an insurance-ready report documenting the fix.

Industrial parks have a multi-tenant cost-split problem: shared driveways and access roads serve a dozen tenants, but only one or two notice the pothole first. Getting the work done means navigating who-pays before you can even schedule the repair. The asphalt is straightforward;
