Why should I give my feedback?

Council needs to put forward a proposal for inclusion in the 2018-28 Long-term Plan in order to provide a service and charge rates accordingly. We need your feedback to know which option to recommend to Council by 30 November 2017.

If there is support from rural communities for the suggested rubbish and recycling services, a proposal would be made to Council as part of the 2018-28 Long-term Plan process. If supported by the elected Council and wider community, rural rubbish and recycling service will be provided.

Providing rubbish and recycling services in rural communities would:

• improve waste management options;

• reduce the amount of waste being buried or burned;

• increase recycling and reduce the amount of rubbish going to landfills;

• meet demands for household rubbish and recycling collection.
