Illegal dumping can:  

  • Cause health hazards
  • Cost Council and ratepayers money
  • Degrade the environment
  • Lower property values if areas become less attractive to prospective landowners.

It is an offence to litter or illegally dump waste under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997.

Fines apply to individuals or corporations responsible for illegally dumped waste.
