MOVE over idyllic scenery and inappropriate photos of models; potholes will feature on a 2025 calendar being published by the state's opposition.

Local residents are invited to take photos of the worst potholes in their area in a competition to pressure the state government to address the appalling state of regional roads.

The 2025 ‘Potholes for All Seasons’ calendar will be presented to Premier Jacinta Allan and Roads and Road Safety Minister Melissa Horne later this month.

The Nationals’ Member for Northern Victoria Gaelle Broad said regional roads were in a terrible state due to years of neglect and cuts to the road maintenance budget by the Labor government.

“I am constantly being contacted by people upset and angry about the shocking state of our roads,” Ms Broad said.

“This is a massive issue right across northern Victoria. Every day cars are being damaged and lives are put at risk.”

Ms Broad said the government’s own data showed road maintenance works in regional Victoria plummeted by 95 per cent last financial year.

“In addition, a government survey last year found 91 per cent of roads analysed were in poor or very poor condition,” she said.

“The condition of regional roads is now the biggest safety concern for motorists.”

Motorists should only take photos of damaged roads where they can do so safely and without putting other road users at risk.
