Council is developing its Waste and Resource Recovery Strategy to align with regional, state, and national objectives, with a strong focus on achieving waste reduction targets by 2050. This strategy seeks to enhance services related to landfills, kerbside collection, and Waste Transfer Stations (WTS), of which the Council currently operates seven across the region alongside two landfills.

To inform this initiative, Cassowary Coast Regional Council is conducting a WTS Consultation Survey aimed at gathering insights into residents' use of WTS services.

In November 2024, Council undertook community consultation to gather feedback on key local issues. A total of 372 people contributed to the survey, which was open from Monday 28 October to Sunday 24 November 2024.

The engagement report summarising the community’s feedback has now been completed. Council officers will review these findings and use them to guide decision-making on the next steps and future actions.

We appreciate the community’s input and will continue to keep you informed as decisions are made based on this valuable feedback.
