Developing an Emissions Reduction and Resilience Plan for Tasmania's waste sector

Tasmania’s climate change legislation sets out how the government must take action on climate change, including developing five-yearly sector-based Emissions Reduction and Resilience Plans (Plans). The Plans will support a practical and balanced approach for our key sectors to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and build resilience to climate change.

A draft Plan was developed that included priority areas and future opportunities for the waste sector. The priorities and opportunities were identified through targeted consultation with business and industry.

A State of Play Report has also been prepared, providing a high-level summary of the waste sector in Tasmania.
