It has come to our attention that a claim of a corrupted QR code has circulated, prompting enquiries and causing unnecessary worry among our community. We understand the importance of digital safety and have thoroughly investigated this claim.
Our investigation, in collaboration with EasyPark - Australia's leading parking app with comprehensive national coverage - confirms the QR code's integrity and safety.
The alleged issue with the QR code is baseless, and our tests show that it functions correctly, connecting users safely to the EasyPark App without any security risks.
EasyPark has found no evidence to support the claim made on social media and has assured Council of the safety and integrity of the QR Code infrastructure.
EasyPark reminds local residents that the QR code is only one way to download the App. As an alternative to the QR code, users of EasyPark can easily download the App via the Android or App Store.
Council has made several attempts to reach out to the individual behind the original social media post for further clarification and any verification of their claim.
Unfortunately, we have not received any response, nor has there been any direct communication with Council regarding their claim.
We urge our community not to be swayed by unfounded rumours. The QR code at the Port Broughton Boat Ramp is safe for use.
For any concerns or further inquiries, please feel free to contact Council’s Port Broughton Office on (08) 8635 2107.
