Overview
Western Australia’s Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2030 sets out a statewide vision and goals for recycling and waste.
The Waste Authority is leading a review of the 2019 waste strategy which provides an opportunity to reflect on how we are performing, what is working and what we could do differently.
As part of its review, the Waste Authority has consulted:
- in May 2023 on the Directions paper which set out key areas of focus for the review
- in May 2024 on a revised draft waste strategy including the proposed framework and directions for the waste strategy.
Feedback on these documents was gathered via surveys, workshops and written submissions from a range of stakeholders including the waste and recycling industry, local and state government, representative bodies, educational institutions and the community. An overview of feedback from the 12-week consultation period in 2024 is available in the summary.
This feedback was analysed and used to inform the development of:
- Beyond WAste 2030 – the modified draft waste strategy which sets out the vision, goals, targets and priorities for the state in relation to waste and recycling
- Beyond WAste 2030 roadmap – the draft five-year action plan that will underpin the waste strategy.
The consultation documents are available from: wasteauthority.wa.gov.au/about/view/waste-strategy-review
Hard copies of the documents can be requested via wastestrategyreview@dwer.wa.gov.au or by calling 08 6364 7000.
