An upgraded app is making it easier for Sunshine Coast locals and visitors to request a service, report an issue and access local council information.

Residents can report non-urgent issues directly to council as well as have news and local information.

Sunshine Coast mayor Rosanna Natoli said the app was designed following customer feedback.

ā€œThe app allows users to have information right at their fingertips,ā€ she said.

ā€œYou won’t have to write a long description when a picture says it all, and that helps our team resolve the issue quickly.ā€

ā€œWe always appreciate our community’s assistance in reporting and alerting us to jobs that require our attention and I am pleased the app provides another tool to connect with council.

ā€œThe app’s new service request feature, efficiently directs your request to the relevant council team, ensuring a streamlined service for our community.
