Gippsland waste strategy
The Draft Waste and Resource Recovery Plan outlines the provision of waste services in South Gippsland from 2024 - 2034. It incorporates the Victorian government's policy reforms around waste and recycling, including the compulsory introduction of new standardised service provision including a weekly food and organics collection service (FOGO), fortnightly recycling collection, and the separate collection of glass for recycling.
The South Gippsland Shire, renowned for its natural beauty and diverse landscapes, faces unique challenges in waste management and resource recovery. As the region continues to grow and evolve, the effective management of waste becomes increasingly critical to preserving our environment and enhancing the quality of life for our community.
Historically, waste management in South Gippsland has focused on efficient usage of landfill airspace, maximising the recovery of recyclable materials at transfer stations and the collection of residual waste, co-mingled recycling and garden organics from kerbside. However, in recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the need to shift towards even more sustainable practices. This is not only in response to environmental concerns but also due to changing regulatory frameworks and community expectations.
