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.

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).
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.

Tilley Road to reopen in time for Christmas
Council's $28M Green Camp Road corridor upgrade continues to move ahead with Tilley Road set to reopen from next week. The upgrade reached a new milestone in November, with the concrete culverts used to drain water underneath Tilley Road, now in place. The project is on track for completion in 2019.
Green light for Green Camp Road
Last March, the Lord Mayor and I committed to improve the intersection of Green Camp and Tilley Roads during this term.
I’m excited to announce the Lord Mayor’s 2017-18 budget has allocated $8.643 million to improve this local transport network.
Green Camp Road Upgrade Plans
The Lord Mayor’s 2015-16 Budget has allocated funds to finish designs for the much-needed upgrade of Green Camp Road, between Rickertt Road and Manly Road.
This work will set the proposed road alignment and determine a more accurate cost of constructing this important link in our local road network, so that Council can plan ahead to secure funds.
