Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan
Waste Management Strategy 2024-2030
The Waste Management Strategy 2024-2030 is Council's framework for sustainable waste management services, leadership and innovation in resource recovery and waste prevention for our region.
The Strategy’s implementation has five focus areas for action over the lifespan of the waste reduction and recycling plan to sustainably manage the needs of our growing community:
• encouraging behavioural change to avoid and reduce waste generation
• recovering organics and reducing future climate change impacts
• improving resource recovery at Council waste facilities
• planning for future waste services and infrastructure needs
• being a Council that leads by example
Development of the Strategy built upon Council’s previous waste reduction and recycling plans, incorporating community survey feedback, Federal and State government waste management policies, and the guiding principles of waste diversion, circular economy promotion and the waste management hierarchy.
