Council has further committed to the goal of zero waste, after endorsing the draft Towards Zero Waste Strategy 2022-2031 for public exhibition.

This 10 year strategy focuses on the work done to date and provides a detailed action plan presenting clear and practical strategies for continuing to reduce waste to landfill and transition to a zero waste city.

The development of this Strategy is crucial as we balance finite resources with our goals of increased planetary health and long-term sustainability.

The six objectives of the strategy are:

  1. Embed a circular economy by focusing on avoid, reuse, recycle then landfill
  2. Comply with legislation including a focus on environmental management
  3. Maintain ongoing value for money
  4. Ensure flexibility to respond to emerging opportunities
  5. Have a high level of community engagement
  6. Ensure local landfill capacity beyond 2037

Submissions close Tuesday 5 April, 2022.
