Waste Management Masterplan

Waste Management Masterplan

Council has received funding from the State Government to develop a Waste Management Masterplan.

Waste management infrastructure has been identified as a strategic priority for the community. The purpose of the Masterplan is to create a comprehensive plan of action for the next 15 years to provide the community with sustainable waste management services.

Old problems, new solutions

A component of this Masterplanning exercise is to investigate the use of innovative technologies for waste management as part of the Council’s commitment to maintaining a healthy and sustainable environment for the community.

Future options for waste management

We are now in the development phase of the Masterplan where different options for future waste management are explored and considered. Input from the community into the Masterplan has been undertaken through online and face-to-face surveys so that Council can better understand community views about existing waste management practices in the Shire.

Why the Masterplan is important

The completed Masterplan will inform Council’s waste management decision-making, planning, and budgeting. It will also identify what is required to meet community needs and expectations so that we can achieve sustainable waste management practices in the future.

The Waste Management Masterplan will address the improvement of waste management services offered in the Shire while also considering the costs involved in providing the services.

The Waste and Recycling Management Plan is currently under review for 2022 - 2025. We encourage the public to give feedback by emailing enquiries@banana.qld.gov.au on the draft which can be downloaded by clicking on the link below:
