South-East Queensland Waste Management Plan (CoMSEQ)
In 2021 the Council of Mayors of South East Queensland (CoMSEQ) finalised its waste

actively involved in working collaboratively with the other member Councils to review shared

infrastructure to change the waste is managed. The CoMSEQ Waste Plan is underpinned by the
following:




                     A

                    R
2. Endorsed by all Councils.
3. Backed by State with funding to support strategic implementation (i.e. not competitive).




                  D
The Plan focuses on three areas of actions towards 2030:
1. Optimising Comingled recycling
2. Removing organic waste from landfill and recovering it.
3. Optimising the treatment of residual municipal waste.
The objective of the Plan is to identify the set of levers, and the most appropriate sequencing of
those levers, that would best enable all SEQ Councils to:
1. Optimise the economics of waste management operations
2. Encourage local economic development and job creation.
    eet or move towards State targets relating to household waste generation, recycling, and
3. M
   landfill diversion by 2050.
4. Maintain or achieve high levels of citizen satisfaction with waste management services.
