Report a problem to the council
The quickest way to get something fixed — a pothole, a missed bin, a sewer problem, stock on the road — is to lodge it through the council's own channel. Temora Shire's customer service line doubles as the after-hours line, with a menu that routes urgent calls. Below is where to report each type of issue, plus an independent app that works for any council.
How to report it
- Report to the council (official)
- "Make a request" online form, or (02) 6980 1100The council's Make a request page carries an online request form; the office is open 8am–4.30pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays).Open the request form →
- Urgent after hours
- (02) 6980 1100 — same number, menu optionsCouncil publishes these after-hours options: emergency animal assistance such as animal attacks or straying stock on roads (option 1); sewer issues (option 2); emergency traffic incidents, syringe disposal risks, and council facility access or property damage (option 3).
- Missed bin
- (02) 6980 1100Council asks you to check the bin was placed out correctly at the kerb before collection time and was not overloaded or contaminated. Waste management staff can also be reached on 0407 931 231.
- One app for any council
- Snap Send SolveAn independent app that routes your report to the responsible council. Not run by the council.

- Faulty street lights → Essential EnergyEssential Energy is the electricity distributor across most of regional NSW, including Temora, and maintains the street-light network — more than 643 Temora streetlights were converted to LED under an Essential Energy programme. Report faults on Essential Energy's streetlight portal or 13 20 80.
