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)
- Use the council's online Customer Service Request form, or call 9707 9000Reporting local issues hub for roads, footpaths, dumping, noise and more. The phone line operates 24 hours, 7 days a week.
- Illegal dumping
- Report to the council online or on 9707 9000Also reportable to the NSW EPA RIDonline service.
- Bin problems
- Customer Service on 9707 9000Missed bins, damaged or stolen bins, and waste enquiries.
- 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 → AusgridThe 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.
