About the Conference

Since its inception in 1996, the Coffs Harbour Waste Conference has grown to become Australia’s leading waste and resource recovery conference.

It is recognised for a practical and relevant program that brings government, industry and the wider sector together to examine current challenges, share workable solutions and consider what comes next.

Each year, delegates take part in concurrent conference streams, exhibitions, equipment demonstrations and networking events designed to encourage professional connections and the exchange of ideas.

The program features experienced practitioners, policymakers and suppliers presenting case studies, emerging approaches and technologies relevant to waste and resource recovery.

Held in Coffs Harbour, the conference provides a national meeting place for professionals working across the sector.
