Regional Landfill, Waste Collection • Developed simple concept designs with costing
Writing and Presenting the Strategy • Total document 58 pages • Written in a Local Government format that includes recommendations • Recommendations framed so that individual Member Councils that cannot adopt the recommendation does not compromise the Strategy • Need to show individual Council benefits, costs and impacts • Need ownership and understanding through constant communication and presentations to Member Councils • Endorsement of CLGR and individual Member Councils
Lessons Learned • 15 individual Councils will work in their own best interests • Need to recognise budget and political constraints • Need to demonstrate efficiencies, cost savings and environmental benefits • Need a shared services model that can work • Who has the risk? • Build on the goodwill amongst the Region Member Councils • Momentum and resources to implement the strategy • Everybody has their day job • Key principle cannot expect fifteen individual entities to act as one entity when framing a Regional Waste Strategy • Questions
