Sunshine Coast illegal-dumping reports and funded officer work put attention on hotspot monitoring, evidence and case records.

Sunshine Coast Council - Sunshine Coast has reported more than 2,200 suspected illegal-dumping reports in a year, with funded officer work focused on investigations and hotspots.
Sunshine Coast News reported that Sunshine Coast Council recorded more than 2,200 suspected illegal-dumping reports across a 12-month period.
State Fighting Illegal Dumping Partnership funding is supporting officer work to investigate offenders, identify hotspots and use monitoring equipment.
Dedicated dumping work creates a practical chain from community report to field inspection, camera review, hotspot mapping and follow-up casework.
The soft open is how councils keep reports, monitoring equipment, evidence files, clean-up notes and offender investigations connected without losing audit history.
