Skip Bin Council Permits in Wollongong

The permit requirement depends on where you plan to place your skip bin. Here’s the definitive breakdown for Wollongong.

Private Property

No Permit Required

You do not need a council permit if you place your skip bin on your own private property, such as:

  • Your driveway

  • Your front yard

  • Your garden

  • Any area within your property boundaries

Public Land

Permit Required

You must obtain a council permit if you plan to place your skip bin on:

  • Public roads or streets
  • Footpaths
  • Nature strips (area between property and road)
  • Any council-controlled public land

Our Recommendation

If possible, place your skip bin on private property to avoid the permit process entirely.

This is the simplest and most cost-effective option, saving you time, money, and potential complications with council regulations.
