Nabawa Refuse Site

The Shire of Chapman Valley is introducing a new operational model at the Nabawa Refuse Site, effective September 2025, to enhance safety, accountability, and sustainability.

Key Changes:

  • 🕒 Opening Hours: Continue as Wednesdays & Sundays, 8:30am–4:30pm
  • 🎫 Tip Pass System: All Chapman Valley ratepayers will receive a Tip Pass, required for entry. This ensures fair access and prevents misuse by non-residents.
