Previous Council Consideration
18 February 2014 – Presentation to Councillors, staff and Lloyd Consulting by Umur Natus-Yildiz
from LGIS on alternative waste management approaches.
11 March 2014 - Councillors and staff attended a Waste Strategy Workshop with Lloyd
Consulting.
20 March 2014 - Draft Options circulated to Councillors and staff for comment as a preliminary
step in the development of themes for further development in Stage 2 of the Waste Strategy
development.
Finance & Risk
There is no significant financial risk associated with this report. Budget costs for this report are
contained in the current 2013/14 budget.
The next step in the Waste Strategy development involves a further consultancy to explore the
identified themes for further investigation, development and costing.
A budget of $150,000 has been assigned in the draft 2014/15 Waste Management budget for
completion of this consultancy.
The funding allocation will also enable staff to undertake concurrent investigations to provide
supporting information to the consultants such as waste contamination levels in wheelie bins, trial
collection services for glass in commercial areas, undertake water quality investigations at the
landfill and the potential environmental impacts of future strategic initiatives.
No funds have been allocated to community consultation from the waste budget.
Consultation
External Consultation - Community & Stakeholder
No external consultation has been undertaken at this time as the consultants brief was to identify
external stakeholders to be consulted later in the process of developing the Waste Strategy.
Internal Consultation
A draft copy of the consultant’s report was circulated to Councillors and senior staff for comment
20 March 2014.
