Council has been alerted to illegal dumping near Maloneys Gully on Bears Lagoon Road, Warnoah. 🚫

The waste includes green waste, concrete, rocks, and soil, with the concrete believed to be from domestic fencing and garden edging.

Illegal dumping damages our environment 🌱 and detracts from the natural beauty of our region. Council is asking the community to do the right thing ✅ – use approved waste facilities and help keep our area clean.

If you have any information that could assist Council, please contact Customer Service on 4992 9500 📞
