Delayed bin collections

Thank you for your patience as we experience delayed waste collections due to driver shortages. Our waste collection contractor (Cleanaway) is continuing to recruit and train more drivers, which is seeing the service improve. During this time, please continue to put bins out as normal and leave them until emptied.

Neighbourhood Character Study 2019

In August 2020, Council adopted the Hobsons Bay Neighbourhood Character Study 2019. The study describes the neighbourhood character types in Hobsons Bay and includes recommendations to preserve highly valued character areas. This work has been incorporated in the new residential zones introduced in Hobsons Bay Amendment C131, and replaces the previous Neighbourhood Character Study 2002.
