Dogs Off-Leash Areas
Council has had numerous requests for additional off-leash areas for local dogs and has taken in next steps in providing new areas.
First there was Astrolabe Park and then an area in Sir Joseph Banks Park.
Both have been successful, covering two distinct areas in the City.
The two new proposals are for off-leash areas in Mascot and Pagewood.
Important Notice about Garbage
This is an important reminder for residents about what is NOT allowed in your domestic waste bin - that is your green wheelie bin. The list is really common sense and includes: Asbestos and fibro sheeting, paint and pain related products and empty tins; Pesticides and Herbicides, pool chemicals, floor sanding saw dust, solvents and household cleaners, motor oils, car batteries, acids and alkalis, gas bottles, fire extinguishes and hazardous waste chemicals. There have been a few incidents recently where some of these items have found there way into our garbage trucks. When this occurs it becomes extremely dangerous for our workers. When crushed, these items can explode or spray hazardous fluids. So please for the safety of all be careful of what you put in your bin. There are a number of safe ways to dispose of these items and Council is currently preparing a leaflet which will be letterboxed to all residents providing these details. In the meantime, if you have any such items that you wish to get rid of please ring Judith, Council’s Environmental Scientist on 9366-3666 and she will be happy to advise you of where you can take these items to be disposed of safely.
