Fax the council a letter stating what happened and note that you have pictures. Make sure you address it to the most appropriate person at the council (ring first). MAKE SURE you get a print out of the fax transaction, just in case they shoot out there and fill the hole in.

cheers

Update:

Dropped into council on the way to work this arvo, and spoke to the woman at the front desk. Apparently they don't have any form for lodging damage to your vehicle. You have to write a letter to their insurance department and deal with them directly. So I think I will write a letter of demand to them asking to compensate me for the damages, and if there is no outcome to that then I will say the matter will be handed on to my solicitor (I don't have one but a bit of bluffing can't hurt).

If there is no outcome from that maybe its time to head over to today tonight or aca

I think I will just get this shit repaired and then try and claim it back from them.

That area is completely pitch black, no lights at all, not to mention the lights on the zx10 are pretty dodgy, the hole was on me before I knew it

The spit is used to be really really really poorly lit (haven't been there for a few years)... There's no buildings up there either so I can understand why he didn't see it...

Paz, I am pretty sure that in Qld if the hole had been reported by anyone before you hit it you will have a claim, but if you are the 1st complaint they can claim they didnt know about it.
