Under the Environment Protection Act 1970 any member of the public who sees someone littering may report it in writing to Council.

Download the Confidential Litter Report Form here: Confidential Litter Report Form   (Acrobat PDF file - 49 KB).

All reports should outline: 

• location of the litter 
• date and time where the littering occurred 
• any other relevant information (ie.car registration/make/model, details of the litter, description of the 'litterer' - age, height, sex, etc) 

Council will consider issuing penalties where adequate information is provided. 

A notice may be issued to a Property Owner to clear rubbish or litter from their property, and failure to follow the notice will result in a penalty of $800. 

A notice may also be issued to Builders/Property Owners of sites where building works are taking place. Identifiable litter found on these properties (and surrounding areas) must be removed. Failure to follow the notice will result in a penalty of $800.
