Waste Management and Minimisation Bylaw

The Waste Management and Minimisation Bylaw helps to ensure that our rubbish and recycling is being effectively managed. It sets out the rules for:

  • Council’s kerbside collection services
  • a licensing system for commercial waste collectors
  • unsolicited mail
  • managing waste at events.

On 18 December 2023 the Council amended the administration manual for this bylaw. The amendment changes the list of approved and prohibited diverted materials to align to requirements for nationally-standardised kerbside recycling collections.

We're currently consulting on some other changes.

This bylaw will next be reviewed in 2031.
