Wyndham residents appear to have fewer neighbourhood issues to refer to the council.
A quarterly report about complaints lodged with the council revealed there were fewer in the September quarter than the previous three months.
The most recent data showed the biggest decline in complaints related to vacant land: 42, down from 80.
Unsightly property, footpath furniture, shipping containers and dog droppings not being collected also produced fewer complaints.
Council chief executive Kelly Grigsby attributed the decline to a concerted effort combining education and enforcement.
“The [new report] demonstrates the positive impacts our efforts are having on the community.”
In the category of complaints about parking, illegal parking declined by seven per cent (419, down from 453 in the previous quarter) and complaints about trucks were eight per cent lower.
The only increase was in the “other” category, which Ms Grigsby said includes vehicles driving over median strips and complaints about vehicles parking illegally outside residents’ homes.
In the animal management category, dog attacks were down 39 per cent, snake reports down 19 per cent, and complaints about menacing animals down three per cent.
