Municipal cases are issues pertaining to the upkeep and improvement of the communal living environment. These include cleanliness of public areas, horticulture maintenance, maintenance and repair of infrastructure such as roads, walkways, parks and drains; animal and pest related issues.
The iPeople App focuses on case reporting which is an easy and convenient way to report municipal problems on-the-go. In the future, the iPeople App will serve as a one-stop platform for timely updates and information via push notifications as well as the ability to perform online payments to pay assessments and summonses.
The categories found in the iPeople App are based on the common municipal issues or feedback the council receives. For issues that are not listed in any of the categories found in the case submission, you can send the feedback by calling in or emailing the council (hotline, Whatsapp and email contact information can be found in the Council Directory tab).
We are constantly reviewing the categories found in the iPeople App. Based on demand, feedback and suggestions, we will introduce new and suitable categories along the way.
