Strategic Waste Management Plan

Consultation has concluded

Waste management is one of the most significant municipal services provided by the Town of Victoria Park. Including the recovery of resources, waste management is an important element of environmentally sustainable practices managed by the Town.

In 2008 the Town developed a Strategic Waste Minimisation Plan. This was in response to the challenge of the State Government’s commitment to minimise the creation of waste; recover, retreat and reuse waste efficiently; and dispose of waste responsibly.

Whilst significant changes have been implemented by the Town and the Mindarie Regional Council through this Plan, the Town needs a new Strategic Waste Management Plan for the next five years. This will ensure that the Town’s current and future efforts are optimised to achieve the best outcomes for the community, particularly considering the changes that have taken place in the industry during the recent years.

What is happening now?

The draft Strategic Waste Management 2024-2029 is available to view here, or a copy can be inspected at the Town's Administration Centre, 99 Shepperton Road Victoria Park.

Comments on the proposed amendment are invited until 5pm Friday 21 June 2024.

  • will this plan impact the rates payed by residents now, or in the future?

    owneroperator asked over 6 years ago

    Good afternoon, and thanks for your query.

    The Town always wishes to minimise the cost incursion on our residents.

    It is important to note that recycling ultimately costs money, particularly to achieve higher and higher rates of recycling.  The challenge for the Town is to optimise the amount of recycling that can be achieved within a limited budget, ideally without the need for an impact on rates.

    The extent of cost of waste management to the Town will be a function of the different options implemented.

    Ultimately the community will be consulted on which options they would like to see implemented within the Town.

    Thanks
