Consultation now closed

The Queensland Government sought feedback on the draft new Queensland Waste Strategy 2025–2030 – Less Landfill, More Recycling for an eight-week period ending on 26 June 2025.

During this time, feedback was received via:

  • a community survey
  • a detailed survey
  • written submission documents
  • workshops in regional and metro locations

The draft new Queensland Waste Strategy (PDF, 4.6 MB) contained a series of guiding questions and supporting information to help inform feedback.

The feedback received on the draft new Queensland Waste Strategy is now being considered and will inform the development of a final draft new Queensland Waste Strategy.

Waste levy review

The draft new Queensland Waste Strategy is underpinned by the waste disposal levy.

The function, publication, review and consultation requirements for the waste strategy and waste disposal levy are administered under the Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011 (WRR Act).

A review of the waste disposal levy is planned in 2025–2026.

Initial feedback on the current waste disposal levy settings was also sought during the consultation period and is being considered.

Enquiries can be sent to OCE.policy@des.qld.gov.au.
