Waste Management

Northern Sydney Regional Waste Strategy 2014-21

Effective municipal solid waste management is a crucial responsibility of councils in the NSROC region as a requirement of the Local Government Act 1993.  Collectively the seven councils generate approximately 250,000 tonnes of domestic waste per year.

The Councils in the NSROC region have a history of cooperation in waste management. In 2014 the seven councils developed and subsequently adopted the Northern Sydney Regional Waste Strategy.

A Summary of the Strategy is available here NSROC Waste Strategy 2014-21 while a more detailed Direction Report can be found here NSROC Directions Report 2014 and Regional Waste Profile can be found here NSROC Regional Waste Profile 2014.

The Northern Sydney Regional Waste Strategy was supported by the
NSW Environment Protection Authority with funding from the waste levy.
