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)
- Customer service: 1300 36 2170, or use Online ServicesGeneral enquiries and to report local issues; after-hours, calls connect to the council's digital assistant.
- Illegal dumping
- Call 1300 36 2170Council's Illegal Waste Officers investigate reported dumping.
- Bin problems
- Call 1300 36 2170Missed 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 → 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.
