2024/25 Council Budget: Chandler Overview
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner and I know Brisbane residents are feeling the pinch in their household budgets.
That is why the Schrinner Council’s 24/25 budget confirms our commitment to keep Brisbane moving while taking pressure off household rates and rents. The commitments we took to the election have been funded while still delivering a balanced Budget that maintains the cheapest residential rates in southeast Queensland and the most generous pensioner rate remission.
2023/24 Council Budget -Chandler Overview
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner has handed down Brisbane City Council’s Budget for 2023/24, where 87 per cent of the Budget spend will be in Brisbane’s suburbs, in line with his Council’s Suburbs First Guarantee.
While this Budget is focused on keeping costs down, it’s important we continue to invest in projects that will keep Brisbane moving and ensure our city remains clean and green. We are also focusing on record investment in building road infrastructure, both for cars and buses.
Kerbside collection dates 2023
Kerbside collection is back in Chandler Ward, this year starting in the first week of March.
The schedule can be found in the photo above or alternatively at the bottom of this article as well as some quick collection guidelines and acceptable items list.
For those that are new or are unfamiliar with kerbside collection, it’s Council’s large item collection service that gathers unwanted household items that are often too big for wheelie bins (and too hard to take to the tip).

For those that are new or are unfamiliar with kerbside collection, it’s Council’s large item collection service (like TV’s, fridges, you name it!) that gathers unwanted household items that are often too big for wheelie bins (and too hard to take to the tip).
