The top 5 issues facing every Australian neighbourhood

A recent article by Yahoo News has revealed a staggering milestone for our community: over 1.5 million reports were made to local councils this year through Snap Send Solve.

This represents a 20% rise in Aussies stepping up to look after their local areas. As our CEO Danny Gorog told Yahoo News:

“Australians are stepping up. More people are choosing to take responsibility for the places they live, and the numbers show they want issues solved quickly and transparently.”

What’s bugging your state?

The article provides a fascinating look at the most common "annoying council issues" across the country. While dumped rubbish was the top concern nationwide with over 200,000 reports, the top priorities varied depending on where you live:

  • Victoria & South Australia: Dumped rubbish remains the number one headache.
  • NSW, Queensland & Tasmania: Illegal parking is the most reported issue.
  • Western Australia & ACT: Abandoned trolleys are the top priority for residents.
  • Northern Territory: Overgrown vegetation is the most common concern.

The article also highlighted why more people are choosing to Snap. By uploading a photo and a geotagged report, you’re helping to provide the clear information needed by your local Council or Authority.

Whether it’s a pothole in a regional town or an abandoned trolley in the city, every report helps contribute to a better-maintained neighbourhood.
