Environmental health
The Environmental Health and Local Laws unit protects and improves public health and community safety. Read our local laws.
We inspect, monitor, educate and regulate to monitor our facilities and immediate environment and make Bendigo a great place to live.
All local accommodation businesses and beauty, hair and skin penetration businesses are inspected and registered to ensure public health and safety.
We can help you to negotiate unreasonable noise in your neighbourhood and issue permits for the septic tank and waste water systems. We maintain our air quality by educating and monitoring the effects of residential heating and smoke from wood heaters.
Water
To view alerts in the area, go to Goulburn Murray Water website: Blue-green algae warnings and public alerts.
Mosquitoes can breed in very small amounts of water. To help manage mosquito numbers on your property, we encourage you to check your properties and remove potential sources of stagnant water such as septic tanks, ponds and pools, pot plants, water tanks and even roof gutters.
To apply to register your water carting activities in accordance with the Food Act 1984, go to Streatrader.
Water carting may also require permits and registrations with Coliban Water.
