MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 18 SEPTEMBER 2012 Conversely, the City of Fremantle has pursued establishing a local law, the Plastic Bag Reduction Local Law 2012. This was considered on 25 July 2012 and was approved for public advertising which closes on 10 October 2012. The City of Fremantle identified several financial, legal, operational and organisation risks and implications in relation to this proposal. Comment The City is aware of the effect that plastic bags can pose to the environment and is supportive of efforts to reduce plastic bag consumption in the community. There are several ways that this could be achieved through community education and potential regulatory approaches to behaviour change. In regards to community education, the City of Stirling is currently delivering waste education workshops at schools, community events, TAFE and community centres. These workshops focus on raising awareness on the issues related to plastic bags in landfill and the environment. The City is also delivering fun activities in schools where students are encouraged to bring lunches to school without plastic packaging. These approaches are assisting residents to reduce plastic bag consumption and increase the recycling of plastic bags after use. Currently there is no State Government legislation that restricts the supply of single use plastic shopping bags. The City does not have direct control over the supply of single use plastic shopping bags and efforts by other Local Governments are as yet unproven. It is important to note that currently it is unclear whether Local Governments have the authority or ability to implement local laws that regulate plastic bag use. Resource Implications The Sustainability Team has limited staff resources and does not have the immediate capacity to action any new projects at the present time. It is estimated that it would take the Sustainability Team three (3) weeks to research the issue in more depth and produce a more detailed report as requested by the Notice of Motion. Strategic Implications Goal 4: To foster the use of alliances and partnerships committed to achieving sustainable economic benefits and enhanced expertise to benefit the community. Objective 4.1: SI 4.1.2: Actively build and expand the City's relationship with local, State and Commonwealth Governments and the private sector and positively seek to align strategic objectives. Provide industry leadership in waste management strategies and initiatives, and influence the development of legislation in Western Australia. 358
MINUTES OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 18 SEPTEMBER 2012 Conclusion Time spent researching this area would impact directly on core functions and strategic activities approved in the City’s Strategic Plan 2009/12. The Sustainability Team does not currently have the immediate capacity to research the plastic bag issue in more depth to provide a more detailed report or to commence the process of considering the formation of a local law to regulate plastic bag consumption. A further report on that matter including any progress made on State and Local Government legislation could be provided to the Planning and Development Committee meeting to be held in February 2013. Suggested Alternative Recommendation That a report be SUBMITTED to the Planning and Development Committee Meeting to be held in February 2013 on the status of State and Local Government legislation regarding the use of non recyclable plastic bags and how the use of non recyclable plastic bags within the City could be reduced. Reason for Alternative Recommendation To allow staff time to carry out research, await the outcome of the City of Fremantle's Local Law and produce a report on the matter. 359
