The City of Karratha is developing a Waste Management and Resource Recovery Strategy and Action Plan that will take us into the next ten years.

This strategy will:

• Guide the City on how to handle waste more effectively and sustainably
• Provide clear directions for improving services and infrastructure related to waste management and recycling
• Help the City foster a culture of waste responsibility among residents and businesses

The strategy will be informed by:

• WA Waste Avoidance & Resource Recovery Strategy
• City of Karratha Environmental Sustainability Strategy
• A review of existing documents and data on the City’s waste activities
• A review of the current waste management practices
• An investigation into the economic, demographic, and environmental influences on local waste generation
• Community and stakeholder engagement

Who will we consult with?

• City representatives
• Community
• Key Stakeholders, including industry
