Monday 17 – Sunday 23 February 2025 is Bus Safety Week! Buses are large, heavy vehicles. They can’t stop quickly and have large blind spots than other vehicles. Whether you’re out walking, riding or driving, Be Bus Aware.
Bus Safety
Remind your child to always wait until the bus has gone before choosing a safe place to cross the road. Always drop them off or meet them on the same side of the road as the bus stop.

Revised Changes to Waste Facilities: Trial of Amended Operating Hours
Revised Changes to Waste Facilities: Trial of Amended Operating Hours
Due to increased potential for fires and fatigue in extreme high temperatures, waste facilities will open and close one (1) hour earlier commencing Saturday 8 February, with a trial period until Friday 14 March 2025.
Recent trialled hot weather times (implemented Saturday 1 February) proved to be too early and inconvenient for most people, necessitating these changes for which we ask your understanding.
