Council has met with and written to all local retailers who use trolleys to encourage them to consider using geospatial fenced trolley containment systems if they don’t already.
In 2020, Council made a submission to the Review of the Impounding Act 1993, with an emphasis on retailers being more accountable for abandoned trolleys. The Department of Local Government received 85 submissions for the Review and have referred their findings to the Minister for Local Government. The Minister is currently considering the outcome of the review.
