Waste Minimisation and Management Plan

The Waste Minimisation Act requires councils to review their waste minimisation and management plans every six years.

In addition to this, the needs of our community changes over time – and so does the world of waste. We need to update our Plan to adapt to these opportunities.

• Waste Minimisation and Management Plan’s are prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Waste Minimisation Act 2008.
• Changes to legislation and new strategies from central government need to be considered. 
• Research via waste audits and a waste services review are being referred to for direction.
• Direction from our community, elected members and business will also help shape the content.
• The Plan aims to align with Council’s existing plans and strategies, such as the  Climate Response and Resilience Strategy 

Absolutely! Consultation will start 28 March 2025 and close 28 April 2025.

We are seeking community feedback – so please get involved!
