Sustainable Bathurst

22/06/2026

Adventure Park has just received a waste‑wise upgrade, with nine new bin stations now installed across the park. Each station includes a general waste bin and a Return & Earn cage to make recycling easier and reduce litter. The bins are located in high‑use areas and are part of Council’s Public Bins Improvement Pilot Project to modernise waste infrastructure.

Council encourages everyone to do their part to keep the park looking its best.
