Have your say in WA’s waste strategy review

Overview

Western Australia’s Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2030 (waste strategy) sets out objectives and strategies for transitioning the state towards a circular economy.

Released in 2019, the strategy contains a vision for WA to become a sustainable, low‑waste, circular economy in which public health and the environment are protected from the impacts of waste.

The Waste Authority is leading a review of the waste strategy. The review provides an opportunity to reflect on how we are performing, what is working, and what we could do differently.

In 2023, the Waste Authority sought feedback on the Directions paper, which set out key areas it proposed to focus on in the review. Consultation feedback was provided through surveys and written submissions, and informed development of the draft revised waste strategy. Twelve weeks of public consultation for the draft revised waste strategy was carried out until the 21 August 2024.

The draft revised waste strategy and 1-page priority summaries can be accessed at the bottom of this page. Consultation submissions are now being analysed and the feedback will inform development of a five-year roadmap to deliver the waste strategy targets and priorities.
