Waste Management and Minimisation Plan
It’s time….The Waste Minimisation Act 2008 (the Act) requires all Councils to review our Waste Minimisation and Management Plan (the Plan) every six years. The Plan helps us comply with the law and (importantly) access waste levy funding from the Government that we can spend right here, in our community to achieve waste minimisation.
As part of this review Council also had to first complete a Waste Assessment Report, taking a good look at waste services (private, Council and community-led) and infrastructure. It considered future demand, Government policy implications, carbon impacts, specific waste types and potential opportunities.
