The Waste Management Strategy 2025-2035 was adopted by Council at its General Meeting held 22 January 2025.

The final document can be viewed here


PROJECT OVERVIEW

Council is dedicated to improving waste management within our region. As part of this commitment, we are developing a comprehensive waste strategy, and we need the community’s input to shape its direction.

Historically, waste management improvements have been achieved through ad-hoc initiatives and responses to changing regulations, such as the waste levy and landfill licensing. Now, our focus is shifting long-term, with a vision of a sustainable future for our community. To guide this new direction, Council conducted a survey to understand what matters most to the community regarding waste management.

As part of our ongoing commitment to the residents of Charters Towers, Council is exploring options to recover more waste and resources and send less waste to landfill. As a unique regional Queensland council, we must understand your values and priorities for improving waste management in our community.

Council is considering proposing improvements to waste services, however, with geographical limitations, low population and limited access to waste processing facilities, we asked the community what Council should prioritise to help inform a strategy.
