Council is committed to keeping our district clean and taking strong action against illegal dumping.

Dumping waste where it doesn’t belong harms our environment, puts pressure on Council resources, and impacts community pride.

To combat this, Council is actively surveilling sites known for illegal dumping and issuing penalties for offenders. Littering and illegal dumping can incur:
• On the spot fines of $210 to $1000
• Court fines of $5000 to $120,000.

If you see illegal dumping on public land and roads, report it to Council by calling (08) 8721 0444.

District Council of Grant will go ahead with updating its name to Southern Limestone Coast Council following a decision by Elected Members at the Council Meeting on Monday 15 June 2026.

The decision comes after six weeks of public consultation where the community was invited to provide feedback on Council’s proposed updated branding identity, including the change of name and a new logo.

“Council acknowledges and sincerely thanks all community members, stakeholders and contributors who took the time to engage with the consultation process,” Mayor Boston said.

The new name and logo will be rolled out progressively beginning 1 July 2026.

VACANCY: AIRPORT MANAGER

The District Council of Grant is seeking to appoint an Airport Manager to lead the day-to-day operations of the Mount Gambier Regional Airport. This is an exciting hands-on role where no two days are the same; with the opportunity to contribute to teamwork, innovation and everyday problem-solving.

Key areas of responsibility include airport operations, security, asset maintenance, project and financial management. Working collaboratively, with a strong customer focus and a commitment to health and safety, you will be a leader who supports team members to work efficiently and professionally in serving the needs of the community.

Significant experience in a similar role will be highly regarded but is not essential. The position also requires flexibility to participate in a rotating-roster for out-of-hours monitoring to support airport operations.

Council offers a supportive, forward-thinking team culture and opportunities for ongoing professional development.

Council welcomes applicants with suitable qualifications and experience and encourages applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds and people with disability.
