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 735 025Or use the online request/report forms on the council website; email council@qprc.nsw.gov.au.
- Bin problems
- 1300 735 025 or wastematters@qprc.nsw.gov.auMissed bins, damaged or replacement bins via the council's Request Bins and Report Issues page.
- 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 → Essential EnergyEssential Energy is the electricity distributor for the Queanbeyan-Palerang region; the council maintains the pole in some cases, but the distributor 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.
