Rural bin collection service
Due to the current wet weather event and road closures, Council’s Resource Recovery Team have been unable to complete some rural bin collection services this week. These bins have now been recollected, except for Houghlahans Creek Road, which is scheduled to be recollected on Monday 28 February 2022. However, this may change as access is still closed.
Where possible, Council asks these residents to leave their bins out ready for collection as soon as possible.
The Ballina Byron Gateway Airport is open. Please contact airlines for flight information.
Burns Point Ferry is operating. Please exercise caution when driving on and off the ferry.
