Some of our services are taking a short break over Christmas and the New Year. There are no waste, recycling and green waste collections on Christmas Day. All waste collections between Wednesday 25-Friday 27 December will occur a day later than usual.
Our Customer Service Centre is temporarily located at Speers Point Library, adjacent to Council's Administration Building.
Spread across our beautiful city is a series of artworks which enliven a usually mundane canvas - traffic signal boxes. Introduced in 2019 this program has enlivened more than 20 signal boxes across the vast precints of our City. Artists include (to name but a few); Helene Ruma, Jasmine Craciun, Nina Katzmarski, Mitch Berrigan, Sophia Flegg and many more.
If you are an artist interested in being involved in this project sign up to the Creative Lake e-newsletter for more information.
