Waste reduction and recycling plan
The Queensland Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011 (the Act) requires each State entity to prepare, adopt and implement a Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan (the Plan) that is publicly available.
The Act requires that the Plan include information about:
- waste reduction and recycling targets
- actions to be taken to improve waste reduction and recycling
- management and monitoring of performance
- information about continuous improvement in waste management.
The Department of Housing, Local Government, Planning and Public Works is committed to the efficient and effective use of resources to minimise waste. The focus of the department’s Plan is to identify the activities and actions that will either avoid or reduce the waste generated by the department in the delivery of its functions and services or improve the way the department manages its waste.
The Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan 2024–27 plan (PDF, 426.37 KB) references how the department will continuously improve its waste management activities over time including its quantification and measurement of targets for reporting purposes.
