At its June 2026 Ordinary Meeting, Council resolved to adopt the following new fee for 2026/27:
Residential Asbestos Disposal Fee – $618 per tonne
In collaboration with Local Government NSW (LGNSW), Council is preparing to undertake a pilot Residential Asbestos Disposal Program at the Ballina Resource Recovery Centre. The trial will provide a safe, controlled and lawful disposal option for small volumes of correctly packaged non-friable asbestos generated within the Ballina Shire.
The program aims to improve access to a compliant disposal service, reduce the risk of illegal dumping and support the safe removal of legacy asbestos from the built environment.
The service will operate on a pre-booked basis only and will be available for quantities less than 10m² or 100kg per customer. The proposed gate fee is $618 per tonne.
An initial three-month trial is planned to commence in late 2026, subject to the adoption of the proposed fee.
In accordance with Section 610F of the Local Government Act 1993, this fee is to be publicly exhibited for 28 days.
