Overview
Raising the profile of litter in Western Sydney through pennies, politicians and partnerships.
Amanda Bombaci, WSROC
Details
When up to nine departments in each of Western Sydney’s nine councils share responsibility for the management of litter, leadership and data are often difficult to find. WSROC embarked on a Regional Litter Baseline to understand the issue and the $14 million finding got heads turning. With support from the EPA, the Regional Litter Plan and regional roadside litter project were born. These are being implemented with partnerships forged with councils, RMS and the EPA to drive measurable litter reduction in the region of which we will present the outcomes in this presentation.
