Shaping the Future of Waste Management


We are reviewing and updating our Waste Management & Resource Recovery Strategy and Action Plan 2020-2025 to determine the long-term strategic vision for Council’s waste services and management practices.

We would like your input to help guide our planning. We want to understand your thoughts on waste services, facilities, and ways of reducing landfill as we draft our strategy for 2025-30 for a more sustainable future.

Your responses will build on what we heard from the community in our Waste Services survey in 2021. We received an enormous amount of constructive input which has led to:

  • Weekly recycling collections over the Christmas period
  • Start of a trial wood chipping service
  • Upcoming transition to a bookable bulky waste clean-up service
  • Successfully lobbying for installation of additional Return and Earn reverse vending machines.

Now we want to check in with you again.

This questionnaire will help us with:
