Solid Waste Strategy 2025-2050

The Solid Waste Strategy (SWS) will be delivered through the implementation of council’s Waste Management and Minimisation Plans (WMMP), beginning with the WMMP 2025-2031.

Each WMMP will be supported by detailed Waste Assessments to ensure sustainable, long-term planning directed by the vision and goals set out in the SWS

The SWS provides the overarching direction for:

• Reducing waste,
• Increasing resource recovery, and
• Supporting strong community engagement.

Through this approach, the SWS enables council to plan for future infrastructure needs, deliver effective transition initiatives, and align with central government’s waste priorities, while helping communities minimise waste, value resources, and protect the environment.
