Well no wonder the trucks are using Ingram Road to gain access to the Tip when they are SUPPOSED to be using Leonards Road to gain entry and Ingram Road to exit.
Unbelievable... here is the Council, yet again... Left hand saying one thing... right hand doing another. Where is the common sense and lateral thinking.

Rosie, I cut this from their NEW website!
So it must be right!
My comment was with reference to the large trucks deliverying soil, for the purposes of capping the old landfill area, not to every day use of the transfer station.
Discussions were held, at LENGTH, with the ward councillors and council department director and officers early on in that project. (This occurred about the time the publicity surrounding the pipeline excavations, as much of the soil from those excavations were moved to the Coldstream tip for use in capping.)
Ingram Road residents were subjected to constant excess noise, vibrations in their homes (windows, particularly), and the danger of the trucks with dog trailers speeding down to the highway on exit, all just a few metres from their front doors.
Councillors devised a system much fairer to the whole neighbourhood. Trucks requiring access to the transfer station for delivery of soil were to enter via Warburton Highway and Leonards Road, and exit back to Maroondah Highway via Ingram Road (at the speed limit!). This system proved to work very well!
However, there are times when trucks deliver the soil outside of larger contract deliveries. I understand that Council have advertised that large quantities of soil will be accepted at the Transfer Station for purposes of capping the old tip.
From time to time, Ingram Road Residents are experiencing days where a number of truck drivers neglect to use the designated path of ingress. It is particularly troubling when the driver has difficulty managing to use the correct gears in it's traverse of the Ingram Road hill.
My point in making the original comment was, if the Council are advertising the site as the 'Ingram Road' transfer station when it is in 'Leonards Road', it may be an explanation for the confusion of some drivers using the wrong route.
This may see trivial to some but, have a thought for those mothers trying to settle their baby to sleep when those trucks maneuvering gears as they attempt to cross the Ingram Road Hill.
This blog page reference should probably be removed, or pointed back directly to the council's website or to the privately owned and managing company "Yarra Ranges Recyling Service" website for current fees, charges and other infomation as it comes up in a search within google for fees and the pricing is now quite out of date. (Fortunately it references prices subject to change).
Please refer to Shire web site for RATES for Disposal.
Thanks anon for pointing out the error :)
AUSNET claims it is illegal to offer OFF-PEAK rates on electricity which I find amazing and non believable that State & Federal government [except the GREENS PARTY] would make electricty price reductions illegal for OFF PEAK HOT WATER SERVICES.
We pay a fortune in monthly electricity bills, so we are looking to swap over to any company who has a genuine competitive tariff for normal rates and an off peak rate. We are with TruEnergy at moment and they also blame AUSNET & the new SMART METERS they claim which I also find unbelievable, but anyone who knows the facts can correct me if im wrong.
We were going to change to Momentum Energy from Tasmania Hydro [no carbon tax on hydro]who claimed it would be easy just by ringing AUSNET to have OFF PEAK recongnised on the meter billing system. Funny though Red Energy also Hydro Electricity generated claim costs have gone up on replacement equipment thats why there rates have gone up. Mommentum has been good for competition but some of their salesmen are inclined to tell porkys about how easy it is to get OFF PEAK for HWS just to get the new business and then AUSNET say no it's illegal. Who amoung your readers might know a better version of the truth?
The cost of rubbish is absolute rubbishe and should be fully covered by our rates like it used to be.
The crazy thing is that the coldstream dump makes money and a profit out of our rubbish. the council should provide FREE rubbish tips like the good old days.
i think its time that all councils & shires be investigated by McKinseys & Co to help ramp down their high cost structures and administrators who have experience of ruding costs not like current ceo's who want to build empires using compulsory ratepayer funds.
the State economic advisors should be looking how many ratepayers are being refered to solicitors to collect rates throughout Victoria (1350 in Yarra Ranges alone) to extort overdue rates by charging them additional Legal fees when the Councils already have a first mortgage before the banks & other lenders.
administrators would help reduce costs but i doubt the Victorian Govt LNP or ALP is going to be interested to reducing ratepayer taxes in Victoria because they dont want to be seen that the state govt is really responsible under constitution to be running councils.
It might be better we save have state elections uf ALP & LNP merge themelves because really there is no great difference in reality.
lets look at trying to Decentralise Public housing in Toorak, Prahran, Carlton, Richmond but guess what Wendy Lovell cant see any benefit if building twice as many public housing units in country towns by selling cbd housing stock on Lease-Back and create house building jobs in country towns? Reason is simple - LNP has same socialist policy as ALP.
