Key messaging to remember:
If your property was impacted by flood water this morning, please lodge your details with Council’s Customer Service Centre. This information will give a clear overview of the impact this unprecedented rain event has had. The Local Disaster Management Group will forward data to the District Disaster Management Group and State Disaster Centre.

The Ayr, Home Hill and Kirknie Transfer Stations will remain closed until the facilities can be assessed. Council will advise as soon as possible on Wednesday morning when the facilities will reopen.

Waste collection will occur as normal in the coming days however residents should expect some delays. If you bin was missed, please have your bin out tomorrow (Wednesday) as contractors will be collecting missed areas.
