Changing Residence
If you move, please leave your bins at the property for the use of new occupants.
Excess Waste
For large quantities of rubbish, Council offers residents two choices: access to Council Waste Transfer Station or the possibility of obtaining a permit for a miniskip.
To have a miniskip on the nature strip or the road outside a property, a permit is required. The miniskip rental company will obtain the permit from Council and include the cost in its invoice. For more information about miniskips visit the Skips page or contact Council's Building Control Department on Ph: 03 8290 3218.
