Motion 3:

Waste Management in Victoria

 

That the Municipal Association of Victoria State Council calls upon the State Government to re-prioritise and re-focus what is critical in the Waste and Resource Recovery space, including:

 

·     Deeming waste and resource recovery as an essential service

 

·     Expanding legislative reform on plastic bags to include the phasing out of problematic single-use plastic products, including plastic wrappings on food at supermarkets

 

·     Establishing a container deposit scheme by legislation in line with other States and Territories

 

·     Advocating to the Federal Government for effective national product stewardship arrangements, including container deposit framework, to drive recycling of drink containers, textiles, polystyrene, paper, cupboard and all electronic goods

 

·     Giving special consideration for those Councils spending a premium to maintain recycling with current contractors, that they are also considered as part of any grant funding

 

·     Establishing consistent marketing tools and techniques that can be shared with the wider community by all Councils - to ensure recycling is not forgotten (other than just consistent bin colours)

 

·     Ensuring that the messaging regarding Food Organics in the Green Bin (FOGO) and Alternative Waste Solutions is clear and well understood - to ensure that these two methods of waste processing are not perceived to be in conflict with one-another
