The new draft Circular Economy Strategy provides direction for Council to move beyond managing waste towards avoiding waste.

The strategy outlines opportunities for Council and the community to rethink how we can use precious resources more efficiently.

This also presents many opportunities for local businesses to improve resource efficiency, reduce risks and generate new revenue streams.

Strategy Vision
