Do you have some old fruit tree netting lurking in the shed? If the aperture of the holes is larger than 5mm x 5mm this netting is now illegal. You can surrender illegal netting at the designated bin at Sunbury Neighbourhood House anytime - or bring it in during our next Repair Cafe event on Sat 21st November (last one for the year) and you can exchange it for a compliant net or set of net bags or sleeves. (One exchange item per household)
This is an initiative of Hume City Council - please click the link for more details
Swap or surrender illegal fruit tree netting and help protect native wildlife. Wildlife-safe fruit netting, fruit sleeves and fruit bags are available at selected events until March 2027.
