Upcoming impacts to Council services

On Thursday 3 September, Council received formal notice advising that members of the Australian Services Union (ASU) will take part in protected industrial action from Wednesday 9 September to Friday 11 September.

As a result, this may affect Council waste services, including garbage bin (red-lid) collections scheduled this week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Bin collections 

If your bin is normally collected on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday: 

  • Put your bin out as usual 

  • If it is not collected, please leave it out – you do not need to report it 

  • Catch-up collections will take place and will be completed by the end of Sunday 13 September

Why is this happening again?

The ASU is currently undertaking protected industrial action as part of ongoing enterprise bargaining negotiations. These stoppages are one of the actions available to union members during the process.

 

Will this continue to happen in the future?

Future industrial action depends on the progress of negotiations between Council and the ASU. Council remains committed to negotiating in good faith and will continue to work toward an agreement. Any further planned action will be communicated to our community as soon as notice is received.
