Litter Control

The Shire encourages residents and visitors to help keep our natural environment clean and litter free. Littering is an offence under the Litter Act and the Shire'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.

Help us keep our Shire 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
  • not removing shopping trolleys from shopping centre car parks
  • reporting abandoned vehicles

Residents with any concerns or enquiries can contact the Shire's Ranger Services Department on 9083 1533 during normal office hours.
