We’ve received reports of discoloured water in various locations across Queanbeyan, Jerrabomberra and Googong recently. First and foremost, we want to assure you that the water supply meets Australian Drinking Water Guidelines and is safe to drink. We are flushing water mains and working with Icon Water to investigate further.
New days and hours will soon be in place for our Waste Transfer Stations. Our busier transfer stations will be open longer and on more days. The changes make the hours more consistent across the transfer stations. All QPRC waste facilities will now be closed on NSW public holidays. Find out more about the new hours.

Mulch at the Queanbeyan Waste Minimisation Centre will only be available for purchase until mid-August 2026. Compost, made from the green-lidded FOGO bin waste, will continue to be available for purchase.
There have been multiple landslips and other damage to Araluen Road from flood events in August 2020, November/December 2021 and the most recent March 2022 event. We worked with Transport for NSW to confirm funding under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) and gain their approvals for the work.
Eurobodalla Shire Council are also dealing with a number of significant landslides on their section of Araluen Road. You can find information about this work on their website.
The first four identified slippages were repaired and guardrails installed. This work was completed in early 2023.
We sought tenders for the remaining sites and this was awarded at the 22 March 2023 meeting to Specialised Geo Pty Ltd.
They set up on site on 27 April 2023. They completed work and the road was open to traffic in September 2023.
We have engaged a designer for four more slip sites. The design and estimate has been completed. We will now procure a contractor and work will be done in conjunction with Majors Creek Mount Road works.
