FRIDAY FACT: Wet wipes are not flushable

Despite what the packaging says, wet wipes don’t break down like toilet paper, and they’re causing serious problems in our sewer system.

🚧 Blocked pipes and messy sewage backups
⚙️ Increased strain on pump stations
💸 Costly repairs (including a recent $20,000 pump replacement)

We’re seeing more of these completely preventable issues across the region.

The solution is simple. Put wet wipes in the bin, not the toilet.

A small change can protect our pipes and systems and save everyone money.

02/06/2026

Dogs are a part of everyday life in regional areas like the Snowy Monaro, whether it’s on the farm, as part of the family, or in a range of specialised jobs.

As more households than ever are choosing to keep a pet, and more people than ever are choosing to swap city streets for life among the mountain peaks, it’s up to each of us to make the choice to be a responsible pet owner.

Reports by local farmers to Council in 2026 show an alarming rise in the number and frequency of incidents where pet dogs are hurting and killing farm animals.

Council has investigated 20 dog attacks on stock in 2026 so far, surpassing 2025’s full-year total of 17 with six months still to go.

With the agriculture sector under immense pressure right now, we’re calling on all local dog owners to protect their pets, our farmers, and our community by choosing to keep their animals contained, socialised, and properly trained.

View the easy guide to preventing dog attacks online at https://qrco.de/dog-attacks.

State laws and regulations require all dogs to be microchipped, registered, and wearing a collar with their owner’s contact details at all times. Away from home, all dogs must be on a lead and under effective control—except in off-leash areas.

Dog owners risk fines, penalties, civil liability, and could have their pet declared a nuisance, dangerous or menacing—which could see their pet removed.

Farmers are legally entitled to take all reasonable action to protect their livestock against dog attacks, which means straying pets in regional and rural areas are at even greater risk than in towns and cities.

For more information on responsible pet ownership, please visit Council’s website at https://qrco.de/SMRCpets, email [email protected], or phone 1300 345 345.

Any attacks on livestock should be reported to Council immediately on 1300 345 345, with rangers on call 24/7 every day of the year.
