Industrial action by the Australian Services Union is expected to affect kerbside bin collection in some suburbs of Darebin and we are sorry if you are inconvenienced by these actions. If your bin is not collected, please bring it inside until your next scheduled collection.

We have developed a draft Darebin Flag Policy to guide decisions about which flags are flown on council-managed flagpoles at five locations across Darebin.
Flags are powerful symbols that can represent a country, community, or organisation.
Flags can also celebrate festivals and events or highlight things that are important to the local community.
The proposed policy sets out a clear and consistent approach to managing community flagpoles, including the flying of flags for days of observance, community-nominated flags, and international flags.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on the draft policy. To find out more and share your feedback in your preferred language by 5 February 2026, visit: yoursay.darebin.vic.gov.au/FlagPolicy.
