BelaBelaWatch

An independent citizen initiative for documenting service delivery problems in Bela-Bela — with photographic evidence, GPS location and a timestamp, captured automatically the moment you take the photo.

Why this exists

Potholes, water leaks, electricity outages, and other service delivery problems often go unresolved simply because there's no clear, dated record for residents to point to. BelaBelaWatch gives anyone a fast way to document an issue right where it happens — with the location and time built into the photo itself, not just wherever a phone happens to save it.

Worth being clear about: this doesn't submit anything to the municipality on your behalf. It's your own timestamped record — use it alongside reporting the issue through the municipality's own channels, not instead of it.

How it works

01

Snap it

Open the Document a Fault tool and take a photo. GPS coordinates and the exact time lock in automatically, right there in your browser.

02

Share it

Send the geostamped photo straight to your ward councillor, a community group, or wherever it needs to go — or just keep it as your own dated record.

03

Track it

Every report appears on the public map — so patterns and repeat problems across Bela-Bela become visible over time.
