Online forms: Customer complaint
What is a complaint?
The City defines a complaint as 'Dissatisfaction with services or products of the City and its contractors, or with the action of employees or Council in the provision of those services or products'.
A complaint is not a request for service. Although this means you do not have to say 'I want to make a complaint,' it is helpful and clearer to you and the City if you do. All complaints will be treated fairly and given equal importance.
The City of Wanneroo has a formal procedure when dealing with complaints. The City’s Customer Liaison Officer will assess your complaint to determine the best course of action and may refer your complaint to another officer/Service Unit if a more technical response is required.
When we receive a complaint from you, we will:
- Listen objectively to your concerns.
- Aim to respond within 7 business days, however if your complaint requires in depth investigation we will contact you to provide a timeframe of when you can expect to receive a response.
- Impartially investigate your complaint.
- Investigate anonymous complaints to the best of our ability, however acknowledge we will be unable to provide you with a response.
- Keep you updated with the progress of your complaint and ultimately provide an outcome and inform you of any actions we have taken.
- Use the information you provide to improve our services.
