Is Bayside Council the same as Bayside City Council in Victoria?

No. This page covers Bayside Council in New South Wales, which covers Mascot, Botany, Rockdale and Brighton-Le-Sands. Bayside City Council in Victoria, around Brighton and Sandringham, is a separate council with its own permit page.

Do I need a permit for a skip bin in the Bayside Council (NSW) area?

Only if it sits on the road, footpath or other Council land. Bayside's own process is called Occupy Road with Unregistered Item; a bin kept entirely on private property doesn't need it.

How much does a skip bin permit cost in Bayside Council NSW?

A $355.00 application fee applies, but is waived for a single dwelling residence placing a bin for up to 5 days. On top of that, a mini skip under 2.5m³ is charged $23.00 per day and a larger skip $46.50 per day.

A note on what we can and cannot tell you

We hire the bin; we don't submit the road occupancy application on your behalf. What's above is what Bayside Council's own form said when we checked it — the council's page is the authority if anything has since changed.
