Our Waste Minimisation and Management Plan’s (WMMP) vision is: To turn the tide on waste – together.
To help us achieve the vision, the WMMP contains an Action Plan that sets goals and outcomes through to 2031.
As well as core services to the community such as rubbish and recycling collections, litter and illegal dumping services, and education, it includes five areas that Council sees as opportunities for improvement:
- Enable greater kaitiakitanga (guardianship of the land) approaches to waste minimisation
- Support better outcomes for waste from farms and rural communities
- Increase diversion options for organic waste
- Tackle construction and demolition waster
- Seeing (and using) waste as a resource to support the movement towards a circular economy.
