The City of Hobart has just released a new draft strategy aimed at dramatically reducing waste going to landfill and making Hobart a more sustainable city.
The Draft Waste Management Strategy 2025 is now open for public comment, and we’d love to hear your thoughts.
The new strategy focuses on behaviour change, waste reduction targets and transitioning to a circular economy, preparing Hobart for a future without our own landfill.

The new strategy focuses on behaviour change, waste reduction targets and transitioning to a circular economy, preparing Hobart for a future without our own landfill.
The Draft Waste Management Strategy 2025 outlines key actions, including the closure, rehabilitation and revitalisation of the McRobies Gully Waste Management Centre into a modern resource recovery hub, and provides a framework for initiating and improving programs and services to reduce waste and increase recycling and waste avoidance.
Our aim is to achieve zero waste to landfill by 2030.
