Create, maintain and make available to the public a schedule of diverted material types including
actual and potential services for collecting and processing diverted material available within the
District
Y Y
Introduce a "waste ranger" service to provide hands-on help to areas with high waste outputs
(such as businesses in the CBD) and link with business associationsY Y
Provide an education centre at a council waste facil ity Y
Advocacy and collaborationAlongside other organisations, advocate to improve product stewardship e.g. disposable drink
containers, single-use plastic bagsY Y
Under programmes 3 and 5 Council
would take a more active role in
advocating for change. For all other
options, Council would continue to
take an observatory role.
Alongside other organisations, advocate for an increase in the waste disposal levy or extension of
the waste levy to include other landfil l classesY Y
Programme Options

Under programmes 3 and 5 Council
would increase their resources to
deliver more waste minimisation
education and support to residents
and businesses. Under programmes 4,
6 or 7 Council would continue with the
current methods although additional
communication will be required
around new services. Under
programme 2 Council would
discontinue the current programme.

How are we going to get there? Outcomes/benefits
How are we going to get there? Preferred approach - Programme 6
• Estimated 19% decrease in waste to landfill over 10 years
• QLDC has greater influence on residential waste – Reductions more achievable in short-medium term
• C&D may slow down whereas organics will continue to grow – Opportunities can still be explored with the private sector
• Complements Council’s biosolids strategy
• Delivers against all KPI benefits
• Lower risk profile
• Consultation on preferred programme
– as part of 2018 Long Term Plan
• Seek funding in 2018 Long Term Plan
• Develop indicative BC for new initiatives
• Implement initiatives
Next steps
Benefits of BBC approach
• Being widely adopted by local and central government
• Considers range of options
• Provides the big picture
• Clear, transparent, simple
• Consistent approach
• Can easily show the investment benefits
Other waste projects using BBC
• QLDC
– Glass recycling options assessment
– Planned
• Organics servicing
• Transfer station upgrades
• Vermi-composting
• Otago regional waste service delivery review
