Communities around Australia get muscle with new iPhone ApplicationMonday 1st February 2010 | 1:41 PM« Back to Listing NeatStreets is a brand new service that empowers the community to report directly to the relevant local authority, using a mobile phone, anywhere in the country. Anyone can take a picture, type a brief message and press the send button. That's all it will take. The first service of its kind - developed in Melbourne will launch this month "With ever increasing attention paced on our living environments, this service will help alleviate community frustration with council issues" said Neil Kuruppu, Managing Director of PepperStack, the Melbourne based company behind NeatStreets. "NeatStreets will help local authorities to quickly become aware of common issues like the illegal dumping of rubbish and the occurrence of graffiti and vandalism. The service is aimed at helping authorities to become more efficient at attending to these matters," he added. The mobile phone application will be free to download and use, and all issues reported will remain completely anonymous.
All reports will find their way to the NeatStreets data centre where they will be automatically forwarded to the appropriate council based on the person's GPS location. This is done by a unique location-to-council mapping service. Pressrelease published by Seeking Media. www.seekingmedia.com.au |
