1 Introduction1.1 PurposeThe Municipal Waste Management & Resource Recovery Strategy (MWM&RRS) 2012-2020 has been developedas part of Council’s commitment to provide sustainable solutions for the collection, disposal and recovery ofwaste materials generated within the community and through its own operations. While the Strategy has alocal focus it also considers the strategic direction for the broader Melbourne area and Victoria.The MWM&RRS describes strategies and measurable actions to be undertaken by Council over the next eightyears (2012 – 2020) with a major review of the Strategy to be complete in 2016. This review aligns with thepoint of change of major service providers for the kerbside collection contracts and is in-line with the Councilelectoral term, occurring every four years.The Strategy aims to guide the development and improvement of sustainable approaches to current wastemanagement practices in an integrated manner, while dealing with the dynamic increase in residentialdevelopment and population growth within Whittlesea and Victoria. This strategy has adopted the widelyaccepted World Commission on Environment and Development’s (1987, p.43) definition of sustainabledevelopment:Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations tomeet their own needs.The goal of providing sustainable solutions that do not impose additional costs, means we support differentwaste strategies for different geographical areas and circumstances of Melbourne. Some parts of Melbournehave access to long-term viable and best practice landfills that can be adapted to include cost effective wastesolutions for the recovery of valuable resources. However, in other areas there may be a need for higher costtechnology alternatives for waste processing.The future directions of waste management within the municipality will therefore be based on ‘sustainabledevelopment’ that considers the equity of those currently living within Whittlesea as well as the rest ofVictoria. This will also include the evaluation and integration of sound social, environmental and economicevidence into Council decisions to achieve optimal net-community benefit.1.2 Overview of the MunicipalityThe City of Whittlesea is a large municipality located 20km north of Melbourne, covering an area of 490 squarekm of both urban and rural land.
