The Waste Recovery Centre is currently unable to accept garden organics (FOGO), rubble and higher strength materials (including construction formwork plywood, poles, sleepers and oriented strand board) due to equipment repairs. Delays are expected from 18–25 June 2026. Opening hours remain unchanged. We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience while works are completed.
Our pets play a powerful role in building community connections by acting as natural social bridges between people. Daily walks, visits to local parks or attending pet-friendly events often lead to spontaneous conversations and shared experiences among pet owners and animal lovers.
These interactions help break down social barriers, foster friendships and create a sense of belonging. Pets also encourage regular outdoor activity, which increases visibility and engagement within neighbourhoods, promoting a stronger, more connected community.
While we have the responsibility of administering the relevant legislation, we recognise the need to promote responsible pet ownership, provide supportive programs and meet community expectations.
This plan is a base for us to provide high quality animal services and programs now and into the future.
