Ongoing e-bike issues
We are also actively addressing e-bike concerns across Yarra.
However, if you encounter persistent issues like unremoved reported e-bikes or inappropriate parking, you can escalate your concerns to Council directly.
Our Officers will investigate these matters further.
This is the best way to resolve an inappropriately parked vehicle, such as an obstruction or safety matter. All other avenues will incur delays in reporting to appropriate provider and Council. Third-party apps such as Snap, Send Solve are not supported and reports submitted will be delayed as it is not integrated with the operators' system.
