The Waste Section has worked extensively with Cleanaway and Council’s Rates Section to
cleanse the bin and collection services data – this accounts for some of the unexpected trends in
sections of the above data. It has been noted that competing waste collection contractors have
continued to win a growing number of commercial service contracts though the Noosa Council
area.

The last financial year again saw a significant increase in customers using the Eumundi Road
Resource Recovery Facility. It is acknowledged that the good road access and convenient
location of the Eumundi Road landfill means that it will receive a large portion of self-hauled
waste produced north of the Maroochy River. This is reflected in an increase in waste revenue
from gate fees over this period.
