Waste Collector Permit Fee implementation

The City of Melbourne are introducing a new annual permit fee for trucks that collect waste from businesses in our CBD. Have your say and help inform its implementation by Friday 12 September 2025.

They’ve also heard from the community that trucks collecting waste from our CBD can have environmental, amenity, and noise impacts. They also want to hear from residents, businesses, and visitors to the CBD about their experience with waste collection from businesses in the CBD.

To find out more, visit participate.melbourne.vic.gov.au/waste-collector-permit-fee.

Insights from waste collectors, businesses, residents, and visitors will help inform their plan to implement the new waste collector fees in a coordinated way that balances the needs of everyone in our community.

For an overview, visit participate.melbourne.vic.gov.au/waste-collector-permit-fee/project-overview.

For local residents to have their say, on the first page of the survey please select, “I am a CBD resident”, after which the various questions specifically relating to residents will appear on the survey page.
