The City encourages residents and visitors to help keep our environment clean and litter free. Littering is an offence under the Litter Act 1979 and the City's Rangers Services issue fines to offenders.
The illegal dumping of waste or littering in bushland or on road verges is an offence under the Litter Act 1979 with fines up to $1000. Rangers are able to investigate incidents of littering and/or illegal dumping where evidence of an offender is provided. Litter offences can be reported to Ranger Services on 9397 3000.
