COMPOST EXPANSION

Our optional green waste bin service commenced in 2013 and now has 2000 participating households.

As a bonus for signing up to the service, bags of compost processed from our Carisbrook facility are offered to participants free of charge, when available.

To increase supply of the high-quality compost, the facilities are being upgraded. During the works, compost production will be paused. New material should be available from mid-February.

The major upgrade to increase compost production is funded by a grant of $340,840 through Sustainability Victoria's Circular Economy Councils Fund and our co-contribution of $87,000.

WATER WORKS

Central Highlands Water (CHW) are upgrading water mains at the corner of Burns and Nolan streets, Maryborough until January 2025.

Water supply to surrounding houses will be unaffected, as CHW has arranged piped bypass supply to each property following a consultation process with residents in partnership with their contractor, Interflow.

Works will take place each weekday between 7am and 7pm, with occasional work outside these hours for safety or technical reasons.

Motorists and pedestrians are advised of disruption to footpaths and roadways around the junction, with traffic controllers managing the area.
