Looking for the right people to help you with reporting potholes in your community?
We’re here to help connect you with the responsible council or authority – we call them Solvers – to report potholes in Australia or New Zealand when you use the Snap Send Solve app, or create a Snap using the form below.
Using Snap Send Solve, you can report potholes directly to someone at your local council or road authority in just under 30 seconds.
A pothole usually starts as a small crack, which if not fixed, can cause erosion to the road surface, and eventually a hole.
This damage is usually caused by traffic, bad weather and other sorts of wear.
Unsure of who to report potholes to, or who is responsible for potholes? Snap Send Solve is an app for reporting potholes that makes the process simple and straightforward.
Snap Send Solve allows you to capture details with app features such as image capture and geo location tracking, that allow you to report a pothole in the road in less than 30 seconds.
This makes your Snap super easy to Solve. Just Snap a photo, add a description and we’ll notify the right people!
You can create a Snap using the “Pothole” incident type under the “Roads & Signage” category on the Snap Send Solve app.
Potholes can cause serious damage to vehicles, and pose significant dangers to road users, depending on the size of the pothole and how hard the pothole is hit.
You can help keep your local area safe when you report potholes using the Snap Send Solve app or form.
If you believe a pothole may cause someone immediate danger, please contact your local road authority directly.
When you Snap a pothole in the road, your photos, notes and location information help the Solver at your local road authority or council pinpoint active issues and start working to Solve them.
Depending on your council area, a Solver should attend the site and address the issue within 30 days, and address the issue based on the risk posed to the community.
We’ve found that Snappers report high response rates and prompt resolutions when using Snap Send Solve, without time spent waiting on the phone or following up emails.
Snap using the app so you can easily track the progress in the History section, as well as provide feedback, along with your satisfaction rating.
Solvers each have their own customer service level standards and will provide feedback on your Snaps depending on their time and resources.
If your report isn’t Solved right away, you can also send a Nudge two weeks after sending your Snap, which is a friendly follow up signal to the Solver.

Snap Send Solve allows app users to report to every council in Australia and New Zealand as well as a number of other authorities, including water and electricity providers, supermarket chains and state government departments.
All Local Councils and Authorities receive basic report information for free.
Snap Send Solve offers two different subscription options for Local Councils and Authorities.
Snap Send Solve offers a paid version of our platform to Local Councils and Authorities. We refer to this as an Enterprise subscription. We publish our pricing here.
Supporting Authorities can integrate reports into their work management system so they can respond quickly to reports. This saves time and money for the Authority and creates a seamless experience for their customer.
Supporting authorities care deeply about their customers' user experience and strive to make it as easy-as-possible for customers to report issues to them. Based on our data, Supporting Authorities have a higher customer satisfaction rating.
Snap Send Solve provides a free service to Local Councils and other Authorities, who receive unlimited reports for free. Reports currently include images and geolocation to accurately pinpoint where the issue is and contain more detail than a phone call or a manually created email.
Offering a platform that works universally means that you can be confident reports will be delivered to the responsible Authority, anywhere in Australia and New Zealand.
The Blue Tick is used to identify Supporting Authorities within the Snap Send Solve platform. If an authority does not have a blue tick next to their name they will still receive your report.
Supporting authorities help Snap Send Solve to continue providing an efficient reporting platform to communities across Australia and New Zealand.
Snap Send Solve takes your privacy very seriously. When you download and use the App, website or other online services, information is collected that enables you to provide feedback on community assets and infrastructure requiring repair or attention. When reporting, you are asked to provide personal information to help authorities get back in touch with you, where required.
Snap Send Solve endeavours to take all reasonable steps to keep your information secure, through the use of appropriate processes and technology. You can find out more information about our privacy policy here.
We love to hear suggestions for improvement from our users and authorities and make regular updates to our service.
To provide us feedback send an email to contact@snapsendsolve.com.
Snap Send Solve has changed the order of our reporting process for a variety of reasons.
Firstly, we have dramatically reduced the taps required on a ‘standard’ report from 13 to 8, making reporting issues in your community quicker than ever before. For Supporting authorities who set up ‘Call Only’ incident types, getting to a relevant contact number is now faster than ever.
Secondly, location accuracy is greatly improved due to the confirmation of location at the beginning of the reporting process. We also now provide the geo-code of the location as the primary location identifier as this is more accurate and helpful to authorities than a street address.
Thirdly, the new reporting flow will allow us to introduce a range of future functionality for Supporting authorities, such as the ability to add audio and video files to reports.
The new reporting order is:
1. Confirm your location
2. Select the Incident Type
3. Take a photo of the issue
4. Fill out notes and any additional fields
5. Send report
