Building, development and construction site management

Building site rubbish and refuse

It is a requirement of the City of Armadale’s Local Laws that rubbish receptacles are available on every building site. They must be adequate enough to ensure that the site is kept as clean and clear of rubbish as possible and prevent any rubbish from being blown off site onto other properties.

Please contact us with enquiries or to make a complaint regarding rubbish and refuse on development and construction sites. 

Infringement Notices (with modified penalties of up to $500 for each offence) will be issued to those builders that do not meet the requirements.
