Snap Send Solve is now used by many local councils and utilities providers across Victoria. All local councils can receive reports from Snap Send Solve.

How it works

  • Download the app from the Apple StoreExternal Link or Google PlayExternal Link
  • Open the app on your phone
  • Click on the Snap button in the middle of the menu at the bottom of your screen. It will prompt you to take photo or upload a photo
  • The app will use the location data from the photo to show where the issue is – you can check or change the location as needed
  • Search for and select a related incident type
  • Add any notes to your report about the issue
  • Send your report!

Your report will go to the correct authority, which could be your local council or utilities companies.
