Waste Strategy

Council is seeking your valuable feedback on the draft Gympie Region Waste Strategy, which outlines our plan to address key local challenges. 

The strategy aims to focus on the following key areas: 

  • Optimising waste and resource recovery infrastructure 
  • Promoting an organics circular economy 
  • Reducing waste and increasing resource recovery 
  • Creating a resource efficient community 
  • Building better governance and collaboration 

Council’s ultimate goal is to meet regional targets, view state goals as aspirational, and increase the landfill diversion rate to 65% or more by 2034.
