Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2023–29

We’re working with the other seven councils across our region to develop a new Wellington Region Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (WRWMMP).

This plan is required under the Waste Management Act 2008, and will cover the period from 2023 to 2029, and beyond.

We’ve been engaging with industry, non-government organisations (NGOs) and other stakeholders to understand the challenges and opportunities for waste minimisation in our region, as well as how we can work together to support initiatives to reuse, recycle, repurpose and repair goods and materials instead of sending them to landfill.

As part of the plan’s development, you’ll have the opportunity to have your say. We’ll release the draft plan for public consultation later this year, so keep an eye on this page for more information on when this will take place, and how you can be involved.
