Welcome to the Environmental Health Unit

Council's Environmental Health Officers are involved in monitoring various aspects of the community in order to ensure public health is maintained. Regular inspections of food premises, public swimming pools, hairdressers and tattooists are undertaken along with investigations of complaints in regard to food, vermin and insanitary properties.

Swimming Pools
Monitoring of public pools and spas takes place to ensure correct disinfection levels are maintained and the standard of facilities comply with regulations.

Syringes/Needles
Council is able to sell approved sharps containers to members of the public with managed health conditions such as diabetes at a cost of $7.50 for a 3.5 litre container. For more information please click here.

Council will also pick up discarded syringes both from public and private properties. Council, however, will not collect syringes discarded by home owners or tenants - this is the responsibility of the property owner.
