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).

Kerbside collection resumes - updated dates March 2022

I’m pleased to announce that kerbside collection is resuming after being temporarily paused to assist in the cleanup of the floods.

The flood affected items cleanup collected nearly 50,000 tonnes of waste and was very successful in helping clean up Brisbane.

Under our new schedule, the suburbs skipped over the pause period are having their annual collection rescheduled to the Easter School Holidays.

Kerbside collection dates 2022 (outdated)

Everyone’s favourite time of the year has returned a year ahead of schedule - Kerbside collection is back in Chandler Ward, starting in mid-February.

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 (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).

Old Cleveland Rd safety improvements

This week I was notified by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) that design work is in progress to provide safety improvements along the Old Cleveland Rd/Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Rd corridor.

This $500,000 project aims to improve safety, network efficiency and increase traffic flow along the busy roads.

Bushfire awareness workshops for residents

It’s that time of year when Queensland’s deadly bushfire season rears its head again. This year, Council has partnered with Redlands City Council and the Queensland Fire Emergency Service (QFES) to run a series of bushfire information sessions over the bushfire season.

These programs are run by the QFES and will equip residents with the information they need to protect their homes whilst also maintaining the environmental habitats that they live in.
