Sunshine Coast Discussion Paper
01 September 2009
The Sunshine Coast Regional Council (Council) has embarked on a journey to becoming Australia’s most sustainable region and reducing our wastes to landfill to zero by 2020. Minimising our wastes and maximising the re-use of embodied resources is a major part of becoming sustainable. This Discussion Paper sets out the general direction we need to head for improved waste management and has been informed by the suggestions of the WASTE TASKFORCE made up of community members, waste managers and producers in the private sector, and the Council’s staff. After feedback on this document, Council and the Taskforce will develop a draft Strategy for consideration by Councillors in November. The Strategy aims to divert 70% of waste by 2014.
