Fire danger season is kicking off a little earlier this year, commencing from tomorrow, November 15 thanks to higher temperatures, dry conditions, below average rainfall and below average fire activity over the past few years.
It's a good reminder to check if you are bushfire-ready! A great way to do so is by making the most of our free green waste days at the Lynton Garden Waste Drop-off Facility.

We’re moving into the final stages of a major infrastructure project at Smith-Dorrien Street, Hill Street and Haig Street in Netherby and Mitcham in conjunction with our contractor Beltrame Civil this month.
General Manager Engineering & Horticulture Dan Baker reflects on the outcomes of the project which includes a stormwater system upgrade and incorporates smart water design features to help manage local stormwater issues and future proof to mitigate against wider catchment issues.
This $4 million project was co-funded by the City of Mitcham and Federal Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program.
