Contracts for waste collection and in-home meals 

Council has signed a new contract with Cleanaway to deliver kerbside waste collection for the next seven years. Also approved on Tuesday was a contract variation with Chef’s Kitchen Australia, which provides meals to residents in need of assistance. The service currently offers some 800 meals a week to 280 residents.  

Staying Connected 

Council has signed an agreement with Microsoft Enterprise to deliver its digital operations. Microsoft currently provides Council with a range of productivity tools, including Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, and advanced security.
