Ipswich City Council has begun investigating the illegal dumping of construction waste on a main road in Redbank Plains.

Residents have been complaining about the large amount of waste on Austin street for some time, with locals taking matters into their own hands transporting the construction waste to the local dump themselves when the Council takes too long to respond to complaints.

Ipswich city council is urging anyone who has knowledge about illegal dumping in the area to come forward.
