Skip Bin Permit Wollondilly Shire Council
Wollondilly Shire — Picton, Tahmoor, Thirlmere, Bargo and the growth area south of Camden — runs skip bin approvals through its Section 138 Roads Act process, the same form it uses for any temporary occupation of a road reserve.

Read from Wollondilly Shire Council's own 2026/27 Fees & Charges schedule on 4 September 2026. Check the current schedule before booking — the council's separate application-form PDF still shows an older $342.00 figure, so we've gone with the current-year fee schedule as the more recent figure.
How the application works
- The Section 138 form treats a skip bin as one category of "event/road occupancy" work — placing something on a road reserve without carrying out roadwork itself
- The form is scoped to the road reserve; a bin kept entirely on private property sits outside this process altogether
- Council states applicants should allow up to 10 working days for the approval to come through
- Completed forms and supporting documents are lodged by email rather than an online portal
