Skip Bin Permit Brimbank City Council

If your skip is going on a road, footpath, nature strip or parking bay in the Brimbank City Council area, that is council land and the rules below apply. On your own driveway or property, they generally do not. "Under no circumstances is the placement of waste containers/skip bins permitted on Council road reservations at buildings sites and demolition sites. Council's Local Law for building and demolition sites requires waste containers/skip bins to be placed inside the property boundary, within the perimeter fence." Breaches of the Local Law can incur a penalty of up to $1000.00.
