Big trucks on residential streets
In Baw Baw Shire a vehicle more than 7.5 metres long or over 4.5 tonnes needs a permit to park on a residential street (Baw Baw Shire Council). Ask the removalist what size vehicle is coming before moving day. A skip on the road needs a permit too under the Community Local Law 2024, as does a shipping container placed on council land (Baw Baw Shire Council). Parking bays in a road reserve are allocated only to a site that needs a skip or storage bin there (Baw Baw Shire Council).
Book the hard waste first
Homes with a council waste service get one at call hard waste collection each financial year at no cost. Nothing goes on the kerb until it is booked, the pile goes out neatly on the nature strip the weekend before, and anything over two cubic metres stays behind (Baw Baw Shire Council). Book as soon as the move date is set.
