New Waste Strategy open for community comment
Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council’s draft Waste Strategy supports increasing waste sustainability and provides equitable services, fees and charges across the region.
Federal and State government waste targets, along with bans on exporting waste and increased environmental and WHS risk, have made a change in waste strategy necessary.
Council’s waste services currently reflect pre-amalgamation arrangements, which have created inconsistent servicing and charging outcomes.
“Council must ensure that it provides consistent, quality services to meet the needs of the community, environment and regulators. By improving our waste strategy now, we can provide a streamlined service that meets future sustainability requirements,” Queanbeyan-Palerang Mayor, Cr Tim Overall said.
