looklog clear

Look for problems within our suburb and log them with the different city services.

Together let's take responsibility for our streets in Blairgowrie, it's our duty.

The sooner we log and report on problems and the more people who do so, the sooner it will be seen to.

Report (to name a few):

Water leaks and burst pipes
Potholes
Street lights not working
Power failures
Missing street signs
Suspicious activity

Here's how to log a fault:

Reported the incident to the relevant police or City department
Obtained a REFERENCE number
Give fair time according to the times below for a resolution
Follow up with your reference number
THEN contact the relevant BCA portfolio to escalate the problem

Social media is one of the most powerful tools to gain attention to a problem these days.
