Go! Alliance is broadly focussed on efficient transport and provides a framework / network so that valuable ideas and initiatives can gain guidance and support, and help good ideas become a reality.

It has always been my understanding that the former chief executive of Bicycle Network Victoria always had a compliant Board who allowed him to do whatever he thought best!

I can't find anything to show WHO looks at the reported incidents. What am I missing?
There is no point reporting stuff if my local Govt. isn't seeing the problems.

BNA is supporting so that it can reach this level and become the default for reporting these types of issues.

My ride traverses from one council to another. In the latter council area, I noticed a member of the council for the area, also viewed the app and would report problems in her area. Other than that, I doubt any of them would be looked at by anyone.
I think this app has merit. So I now place the problem in the app and then also report it to council. I would then add a comment in the app the problem has been called in and add the incident number in. I also make sure I tell the council I have reported the problem through this app. Most of the people on the other end don't know what the app is, which doesn't help.

I had a response to one issue which directed me to the responsible authorities - so also a type of solution. I guess a more fledged and integrated solution would be nicer however councils are generally not very responsive and if you have ever dealt with councils then a type of community driven approach that moves the council to open accept and adapt is far more effective that trying to move the councils to adapt.
But this app / service however will let councils tap directly into it. Omar is a better person to speak about this and I can ask him to respond in here to specific or detailed questions.

Some response is needed to placate the gathering swarms of indignant!
Hit me up via the BNA dm; I'll get an alert. If y'know, you know.

So I would suggest this app is useful but there are definitely some improvements that could be made with it.

It means that GoFix has been more of a tracker and one for local council issues. Because the app is a spin-off of the US version, I was getting the SeeClixFix emails which have absolutely no reference to GoFix both is regionality and branding (ie. no GoFix branding and issues from the US).
In my area there are a heap of 'junk' reports for fixing playgrounds - all identical and nothing has happened.
