Circular Materials Strategy

The 10 member councils of the Hunter Joint Organisation (Hunter JO) has partnered with Central Coast Council to develop this new Circular Materials Strategy for the region. The Hunter JO is responsible for the coordination of the Hunter and Central Coast (HCC) Regional Waste Group, and as such, will be referred to as the organisation responsible for delivering this strategy.

Purpose

The Hunter and Central Coast Regional Circular Materials Strategy (Regional CMS or the Strategy) (formerly known as the Regional Waste Strategy), embraces a 20-year vision while focusing on the initiatives required in the 5-year period from 2022-2027 and how progress will be monitored. There is considerable value to be realised by the region working collaboratively to identify regional priorities and deliver strategic projects and programs. This Strategy interprets national and state policies for our regional context and looks to local plans to develop regional strategic priorities and to identify common issues to be solved at a regional level.

Falling out of the Strategy is an Annual Action Plan, as well as the Hunter and Central Coast Circular Economy Roadmap (CE Roadmap). The CE Roadmap is identified by the Regional CMS as an important collaboration activity for the Hunter JO to lead on behalf of the region. It spans beyond government effort by adopting a whole-of-region approach to coordinating and elevating the circular evolution occurring in our region.

 

 

 

 

 

Four Regional Themes are identified in the Regional CMS outlined in the table below, showing the linkage to priorities identified in the
NSW Waste and Sustainable Materials Strategy

 

The five-year implementation plan informs how the Hunter JO uses its resources to secure additional funding to deliver relevant programs and projects.
