The City of Ballarat has been working with our local businesses to support them with resources and information to prepare for the ban.
From February 1, banned plastics will include:
-
Drinking straws.
-
Cutlery and drink stirrers.
-
Plates.
-
Expanded polystyrene food service items and drink containers.
People who need single-use plastic drinking straws due to a disability or for a medical need can still purchase and use these items.
