About
Pollution such as chemicals in waterways can cause extensive damage and is often expensive to clean up.
If your request is related to mud/soil from a building site, please raise a request under Construction works non-compliance to have the matter investigated.
Important: If you notice pollution such as sediment, paint or chemicals in a local waterway, or entering a stormwater drain, please contact Council immediately to report the matter. It is important to begin cleaning up pollution as soon as possible to limit their damage.
