Litter and Illegal Dumping

The City encourages residents and visitors to help keep our natural environment clean and litter free. Littering is an offence under the Litter Act and the City's Rangers issue fines to offenders.

People caught illegally dumping waste in bushland areas or on road verges will receive a $200 on the spot fine. Under the Litter Act they could also face prosecution and incur fine of up to $1000.

Residents with any concerns or enquiries can contact the City's Ranger Services Department on 9399 0111 during normal office hours.

Help us keep our City beautiful by:

• depositing all litter in the bin
• not depositing commercial or domestic waste in public litter bins
• ensuring goods carried on trailers, utes and trucks are covered and properly secured
• ensuring building site waste does not affect your neighbours
• not removing shopping trolleys from shopping centre car parks
• reporting abandoned vehicles

Abandoned vehicles

Abandoned vehicles are held for 60 days. If the legal owner does not claim them during this period, the vehicles may be disposed of in accordance with the Local Government Act.
