1429: Mt Barker Mayor - Hard Waste Charge, Callington Alpaca Deaths, Funding for Harrogate Rd

Mount Barker District Councillors have voted to commence a
user-pay hard waste collection service from mid-2022.



At Monday's Council Meeting, members endorsed the provision of a
district-wide hard waste service, costing Council $300,000 a year
and up to $140 per person, per collection.



Mayor Ann Ferguson joins Jennie Lenman to explain the decision in
spite of some community opposition.



The two also discuss the council's investigation into the death
of three pet alpacas at Callington Family Day Care, and a funding
boost for the Cudlee Creek bushfire affected Harrogate Road.
