Regional Waste Management Initiative
Through our Clean and Clever Project, BIEDO is facilitating discussions between Councils of the Inland Burnett and Gympie region to tackle recycling strategies for the region. Working together are the North Burnett Regional Council, South Burnett Regional Council, Cherberg Aboriginal Shire Council and Gympie Regional Council.
The group began meeting in 2011 and have continued their enthusiastic discussions with the most recent meeting on 24th January 2012. Key discussion topics have included sharing information on current practices, future targets, the introduction of the State Government's Commercial Waste Levy (1st Dec 2011), and the feasibility for various waste diversion opportunities within the regions. BIEDO is looking forward to helping the Council’s continue their planning sessions and identifying future positive opportunities for our region.
