Cardboard CollectionBusinesses are reminded to only leave waste cardboard out for collection Monday to Friday. Unfortunately Council is unable to collect waste cardboard from businesses over the weekend as Veolia’s recycling plant doesn’t operate on weekends. In recent weeks some businesses have been leaving out waste cardboard for collection on the weekends but this cardboard has been collected with the garbage and ended up in landfill. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Now offering Personal Training, AbExpress & Fighting Fit classes, Weights Gym........its all at the
Devonport Rec. Centre!!

The 2nd Devonport Food and Wine Festival was an outstanding success with over 30 venues hosting in excess of 70 events. Spectacular Autumn weather welcomed patrons to outdoor events, with over eight thousand people attending ‘Taste the Harvest’. Restaurants opened their doors to guests with tasting nights, wok cooking, tapas and cooking classes. Community groups hosted numerous free events, and our three celebrity Chefs taught us secrets of the trade.So if you attended an event, hosted an event or worked at an event, the Devonport City Council would like to say ‘Thank you’ for supporting this wonderful City and the Devonport Food and Wine Festival.......
