Livingstone Shire Council is seeking feedback from the community around its current waste management priorities, now and into the future.
Portfolio holder of Water, Waste Management and Environment, councillor Andrea Friend, said council strived towards creating a behavioural shift to a circular economy and ultimately, becoming a zero-waste community.
“Council’s objective is to lead and support the community to create behavioural change, implement resource recovery initiatives, and achieve excellence in waste elimination,” Ms Friend said.
“The strategy will align with the Livingstone Community Plan – Towards 2050, a long-term strategic plan developed with the community.”
Cr Friend said the feedback received will inform the direction of council’s Waste Management Strategy and a second round of consultation will then aim to gauge support for the document itself.
