Illegal Dumping

Illegal dumping is a big issue that not only pollutes the environment and costs Council and ratepayers money, it makes our region look untidy. You can help Council and the NSW Environment Protection Authority catch offenders by reporting illegal dumping when it occurs. Just search ‘Report to EPA’ on your smart device, or call Council on 6333 6511. Together we can keep our region beautiful.

Tree Planting Day

On Sunday 17 June, we need your help to plant trees, shrubs and grasses at Hawthornden Creek, Jacques Park, South Bathurst. Contact Council’s Recreation Section on 6333 6233 or visit the Sustainable Bathurst Facebook page for more information.

Be Water Wise – Maintenance and Repair

Did you know that a dripping tap can waste about 20,000 litres of water per year? Now that the cooler weather is here, it's a great time to do a little maintenance and make sure that you aren’t wasting water around the home. Check that the toilets aren’t releasing water between flushes and dripping taps could be fixed by simply changing the washer.
