Community Jury - The future for Noosa's organic waste
Consultation has concluded
This consultation has now closed and the final delivery of the project is underway. Thank you for all your input which has helped shape this project for the community.
Minimising Noosa’s Organic Waste
The question of how we manage organic waste has major implications for the future of the Noosa landfill site. Organic waste is mostly garden waste but also includes food waste. It also has significant long term financial and environmental impacts for Noosa residents. Noosa's first Community Jury deliberated upon:
“What is the best option for minimising organic waste sent to landfill?”
Noosa residents assisted the Jury by making over 30 submissions. Residents submissions can be found in the document library to the right of this screen. Click on "more".
Council provided a background information document to assist the jury with its deliberations and to assist the community with its submissions. All documents provided to the Jury, at its request ,are available to the public and are located in the document library to the right of your screen, and also at Council offices and libraries.
The Jury met monthly between February and July 15 and finalised its recommendations to Council.
The Jury Report was reviewed by Council at its August meeting and the full set of recommendations were adopted in principle. Council then held a workshop to work out costs to implement and timing. See "News Feed" below.
All meetings were open observers.
