Due to the damage caused by this weather event, Council’s priority is to keep roads open and ensure the safety of our community and workforce. Crews may not remove all the roadside debris when first attending the scene and will undertake further clean-up works after the event.

Rubbish bins: We are aware a large number of bins have blown over throughout the collection area today. Our contractor has done their best to collect what they can, but they cannot empty all the bins that have blown over due to time restrictions and safety concerns. If your bin has not been emptied today, please contact Council to arrange another collection if needed.
