Report a problem to the council
The quickest way to get something fixed — a pothole, dumped rubbish, a missed bin — is to lodge it through the council's official channel. Below is where to report each type of issue, plus an independent app that works for any council.
- Report to the council (official)
- Report an issue online, or call (02) 4780 5000General enquiries and to report local issues via the council's 'Report an issue' hub.
- Bin problems
- (02) 4780 5000 or wasteofficer@bmcc.nsw.gov.auMissed bins and waste enquiries.
- Illegal dumping
- Report to the council / NSW EPA (RIDonline)
- One app for any council
- Snap Send SolveAn independent app that routes your report to the responsible council. Not run by the council.
- Not always the council's job
- Faulty street lights → Endeavour EnergyThe council maintains the pole; the energy provider fixes the light itself.
For urgent safety hazards, call rather than filling in a form. Snap Send Solve is an independent third-party app (not run by the council) that routes your report to the responsible authority.
