In 2013, we introduced the ‘Snap Send Solve’ smart phone app to make it quick and easy for people to let council know about things that may need attention.

The Snap Send Solve app enables people to capture and report instantly issues such as litter, graffiti, dumped debris, road maintenance and water pollution, as well as general requests and positive comment. The technology works using an app on your smart phone that takes less than a minute to complete a form and attach a photo.

One of the app’s main benefits is that the location and a photo are easily added to the report which can save on inspection times for council staff, speeding up the process in fixing the issue.

All reports from Snap Send Solve are sent from the app using the sender’s email address, and a response of receipt is almost immediate. Time frames for action to Snap Send Solve reports are in line with other customer contact methods and you can expect a response within ten business days.

In the past 12 months, council has received 75 Snap Send Solve reports but would like to see this method used more frequently by the community to report issues that council needs to be made aware of.
