At the 26 May 2025 Council meeting, Council agreed to enter into a licence to allow for a contain deposit machine on 5 car spaces in Dorset Square, Boronia.

The license was requested by VISY, who are implementing this State Government initiative. The container deposit scheme aims to increase recycling by giving 10-cent refunds for containers.

Council made this decision after reviewing feedback received from the recent community engagement.

Having a container deposit machine in Dorset Square might encourage more people to visit the area and support local businesses.

The Council meeting minutes for 26 May will be available on our Current agendas and minutes webpage in the coming weeks.
