Ipswich City Council is sending around 150 new household waste bins to new residents weekly. The measure has proved to be a challenge on the government’s resources as Ipswich deals with unprecedented rapid growth. Truck drivers have up to hundred stops added to their runs every week.
Mayor Teresa Harding says the increase of waste is just one of the key issues.
The Mayor claims the Federal Government has delivered little to Ipswich regarding infrastructure projects, as the region is predicted to grow by 4.6 per cent annually until 2036.
The Ipswich City Council will go hard ahead of the upcoming federal election to garner infrastructure funding.
