        Victoria’s strategic framework is extensive and underpinned by the following:
            seven 10-year Regional Waste and Resource Recovery Implementation Plans developed by statutory Waste
             and Resource Recovery Groups
            the Victorian Waste Education Strategy, which seeks to provide a state-wide coordinated approach to waste
             and resource recovery education programs
            the Victorian Market Development Strategy for Recovered Resources, which identifies interventions to
             address the imbalance in the supply and demand for recovered resources
            the Victorian Organics Resource Recovery Strategy, which aims to establish a vibrant recycled organics
             market
            a five-year engagement strategy that develops the key messages and engagement mechanisms to ensure
             the right stakeholders are engaged appropriately throughout implementation of the SWRRIP.
        The NSW strategic framework is also underpinned by several supporting strategies, including:
                  Changing behaviour Together: NSW Waste Less, Recycle More education strategy 2016-21
                  Draft NSW Litter Prevention Strategy 2017-20
                  NSW Illegal Dumping Strategy 2017-21
                  Draft Waste and Resource Recovery Infrastructure Strategy 2017-2021.
