Welcome to the final WMAA E-NEWS for 2017, which I am handing over to our fantastic State Branches, who have worked incredibly hard to promote and represent our essential industry. I believe these reports truly represent the breadth, depth and effectiveness of WMAA. I think that we would all agree that 2017 has been an interesting year for the industry as a whole with increased media attention. However it is only by working with each other and the broader community will we solve many of these issues raised, and to be honest nothing new has been highlighted. At WMAA we are looking forward to 2018 and the opportunities that it will bring. Thank you to everyone that has participated and engaged with WMAA in 2017, we look forward to the opportunity to work with you again in 2018. From all of the team I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
Gayle Sloan

Improving National Waste ReportingIn August 2017 the Department of the Environment and Energy released the National Waste Report (NWR) 2016 and Hazardous Waste in Australia (HWiA) 2017. The reports collate Australian waste data from the states, territories and industry to present a national picture on waste quantities, types, sources and management. They are available here (NWR) and here (HWiA) . Blue Environment and its project partners Ascend Waste and Environment and Randell Environmental Consulting have been commissioned to prepare the next iterations of these reports (NWR 2018 and HWiA 2019). We and the Department want the new reports to be better than the previous versions and as useful as possible. To that end, we invite your responses to six simple questions. Please click here to participate in the survey. |
