Report a problem to the council
The quickest way to get something fixed in West Wyalong, Wyalong or one of the shire's villages — a pothole, dumped rubbish, a missed bin, a water or sewer problem — is to lodge it through Council's official channel. Below is where to report each type of issue, the after-hours number for genuine emergencies, and an independent app that works for any council.
How to report it
- Report to the council (official)
- Contact Council online form, or (02) 6972 2266Council's Contact Council page hosts an online enquiry and request form. The administration office at 6 Shire Street, West Wyalong is open Monday to Friday, 8.30am-5.00pm.
- Urgent / after-hours emergencies
- 0418 402 350Council publishes this number for after-hours emergencies only — for example a burst water main or a sewer choke. During business hours use (02) 6972 2266.
- Missed bin
- (02) 6972 2266Report a missed collection to Council's administration office during business hours. Collection days differ by town and, in West Wyalong and Wyalong, by which side of the Newell Highway you live on — see the Waste & recycling page first.
- Illegal dumping

- Emergencies and hazards
