Skip Bin Extension Permit Terms & Condition

Conditions for Placement of Skip Bins on public land.

The following conditions are set out to prevent injury or damage to any persons or property. Failure to comply with these conditions could mean immediate removal of the bin at your expense and/or the issue of on-the-spot fines:

1. Skip bins may only be placed by persons, or Companies, holding a current Skip Bin Provider Licence. License holders are listed in the next section below.
2. The maximum dimensions of a skip bin are 5m X 1.8 m (Length x width).
3. Skip bins must be placed immediately in front of the property of the Skip Bin User. The skip bin must not be placed beyond the Skip Bin User's property frontage, unless the prior written consent of the adjacent property owner has been obtained.
4. The skip bin must be positioned so that it does not take the place of more then one street parking place. In metered parking areas, the skip bin must be placed central to a single parking bay.
5. The skip bin must be positioned to comply with all restrictions of the Australian Road Rules as if they were  a motor vehicle.
6. The skip bin shall only be placed in a manner that ensures a three (3) metre wide passageway is maintained on the roadway for vehicles to pass the skip bin. Note that this may necessitate a smaller/narrower skip bin being placed in some locations or prevent the placement of the skip bin at all.
7. Only one (1) skip bin may occupy the road reserve at any time at any property frontage. The Skip Bin Provider may replace/swap the skip bin within the approved duration of the Permit, but this does not change the end date of the Permit.

10. The Skip Bin Provider must accept liability for any damage caused to the road, gutter, grass verge, footpath or any injury sustained by any person during the delivery, occupation and removal of the bin.
