We have a fantastic community of Snappers here in Greater Dandenong!
What’s the key to faster fixes? Clear, detailed information. When community members report hazards with clear visuals, fixes happen faster. With 97% of reports to the City of Greater Dandenong through the Snap Send Solve app including a photo, our Fix-it Friday star acted swiftly to repair this damaged pit lid that posed a trip hazard to pedestrians. By enabling precise location data and photo reporting, we're not just helping maintenance teams respond more efficiently—we're supporting the City of Greater Dandenong’s vision for sustainable stormwater management. Need a smarter way to manage incident reports? Let’s chat! #FixitFriday #SnapSendSolve #LocalGovernment
