Tackling Karamu
Weed

Council's team treated 148 karamu plants along the Kermandie River near Geeveston, continuing a decade-long eradication effort. Residents can report sightings to the NRM Unit.

Free Scrap Metal
Drop-Off

Huon Valley residents can recycle scrap metal free at Southbridge (Huonville) and Cygnet Waste Transfer Stations, Saturday 13 to Sunday 21 June. Fridge degassing $10.
A zebra crossing leads to a brick building with a sign above the entrance. Several cars are parked along the street, and two people are walking on the sidewalk. The sky is clear and blue.

Cygnet safety
designs ready

Council has released safety upgrade designs featuring improved parking, pedestrian crossings and road changes. View them online or in person at upcoming community sessions.
