The safety of our communities is priority number one, and a recent incident in the Ararat Rural City Council area highlighted just how vital quick and accurate community action can be.
The Weekly Advertiser recently reported on the serious public safety hazard of illegal sharps dumping (like used syringes) on private property.
The good news? The issue was immediately brought to the council's attention after a concerned resident used the Snap Send Solve app to report the dumped rubbish.
Ararat Council Chief Executive Dr. Tim Harrison praised the quick report and noted that the app provides crucial, precise geolocation information. This is vital for council teams to locate dangerous items like sharps and respond safely and efficiently.
