Stage 4 restrictions are in place

Despite the increased restrictions your bins will still be collected, and we're still able to answer your calls. We're reviewing what services need to change or stop and will keep the status updated on this website. Stay safe, stay home and if you need to go out remember your mask and make sure it's for one of the 4 reasons.

Advocacy

We advocate to the Victorian and Australian Governments on key issues and projects to make Banyule a better place to live, work and play for our community.

North East Link

We continue to work on behalf of the community to advocate for changes to the North East Link project that protect our natural environment, preserve our local neighbourhoods, avoid dividing our community, minimise health impacts and provide for real solutions to the transport issues in the north including improved cycling and walking facilities and a reduction in through truck movements on local roads. We also advocate for improved local outcomes for all other Victorian Government transport projects that impact Banyule.
