Report a problem to the council
The quickest way to get something fixed — a pothole, dumped rubbish, graffiti, a broken 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: (02) 4227 7111General enquiries and to report local issues like roads, parks and dumping.
- Bin problems & repairs
- Wollongong Waste hotline: 1300 362 360Damaged or missing bins, missed collections, replacements.
- Illegal dumping
- Report to the council / Wollongong WasteIt's illegal to leave items on the kerb without a booked cleanup.
- One app for any council
- Snap Send SolveAn independent app that uses your location to route the 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. Some assets aren't the council's responsibility — for example, faulty street lights are fixed by Endeavour Energy.
