OVERGROWN PROPERTIES
Council has been made aware of a number of overgrown properties in Nyngan and the villages. A property owner has a responsibility to ensure their land is maintained to an acceptable standard so it doesn’t become a fire risk or a harbour for rodents, snakes and other problematic animals. Legislation requires Council to follow a process when it is notified of an overgrown property. After inspecting the property, Council will notify the property owner before issuing a “Notice of Intention to issue an Order to the property owner under Section 124 of the Local Government Act 1993”. Council then inspects the property a couple of weeks later and if the property is still overgrown the Order is issued. The legislation requires 'reasonable time' is given for the property owner to complete the required works, but should this not happen Council can pursue the matter - and if necessary complete the required work with all costs passed onto the landowner. If you would like more information or to notify Council of an overgrown property please contact our administration on 68359000 or email This email address is being protected from spambots.

You can provide the address of the incident using the GPS on your device or select the location on the provided map. When you report via RIDonline, Bogan Shire Council is sent an email alert about the incident so we can respond. To follow up on a report, call Council on 6835 9000 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Importantly, if you discover obviously dangerous waste, such as that omitting toxic fumes or spilt chemicals you should call 000 and report it immediately.
