This Waste Management Strategy sets out how Northern Grampians Shire Council will manage waste and recycling services across the shire through to 2030.
This document is a revision of council's Waste Management Strategy 2020-30 which was originally published in 2020. The 2026 revision comes after a mid-implementation review of our progress to date, what we have delivered so far, where there have been shifts in external drivers, adjusts our actions where required and confirms what remains to be achieved. It explains what is changing, why change is required, and how council will introduce new recycling services in a way that is practical, affordable and aligned with local conditions.
Waste and recycling services are changing across Victoria. New state laws and reforms require councils to reduce waste sent to landfill and improve the recovery of valuable materials. Under the Circular Economy (Waste Reduction and Recycling) Act 2021, councils must provide access to Food Organics and Garden Organics (FOGO) recycling and glass recycling by 2027.
These changes will affect how waste and recycling services are delivered across Northern Grampians Shire. These changes are now reflected in this strategy.
