Current Local Law
Currently, there are clauses regulating shopping trolleys in our Local Law but they are not adequate to reduce the amount of trolleys that leave retailer premises or reduce the burden and cost to Council of impounding and holding abandoned trolleys.
Proposed idea
This idea would require businesses which make trolleys available to be responsible for making sure they are not left on Council land or on roads. If introduced, this law would allow Council to ensure businesses have a service to ensure trolleys are collected in a timely manner and provide appropriate mechanisms such as coin operated trolleys or wheel locking systems on all trolleys to deter them from being removed from being dumped or abandoned.
