CENTRAL MURRAY Regional Waste Management Group ANNUAL REPORT Year Ending 30th June 2007 Annual Report 2006/2007 Central Murray Regional Waste Management Group ANNUAL REPORT 2006/2007 Member Councils ¾ Buloke Shire Council ¾ Gannawarra Shire Council ¾ Loddon Shire Council ¾ Swan Hill Rural City Council ¾ Wakool Shire Council Central Murray Staff ¾ Karen Fazzani – Executive Officer ¾ Donna Wardlaw – Regional Education Officer © State of Victoria, Central Murray Regional Waste Management Group 2007 This publication is copyright. No part may be reproduced by any process except in accordance with the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968. 2 Annual Report 2006/2007 Chairperson’s Report It is with pleasure that I present this report. It has been another successful year. I would like to thank the Directors and Council Staff for their enthusiasm and co-operation. Thanks also to Karen and Donna for their work ethic, their enthusiasm and their productivity. The strong working relationship between Councils and the Group has continued as we strive to meet our regional targets of reducing waste, increased recycling and best practice waste management. I was personally pleased with Cohuna/Leitchville attaining two years plastic shopping bag free status and we had a terrific day handing out certificates with Kaye Darveniza, MP officiating the ceremony and we received lots of positive feedback from the traders as we met with each of them during the day. Across the region the continued rolling out of the plastic bag free program has been a success with 33 towns now ‘Plastic Bag Free’. Mention should also be made of the Loddon Shire and CMRWMG who received a Keep Australia Beautiful State Award for the Shire being Plastic Shopping Bag Free. The Buloke Shire also received an EcoBuy Award for their efforts in purchasing greenhouse friendly products. We are a region leading by example especially with the purchase of a new hybrid car at the end of April 2007 and all our Member Councils being Waste Wise certified. Other highlights include the implementation of the Central Murray Litter Prevention Project with Mick Bourke, Chairman and CEO of the Environment Protection Authority launching the project and presenting the Central Murray RWMG with funding towards the campaign. This is a great example of how as a region we work with other organisations to roll out projects to achieve common aims. This year has also seen an increase in the number of businesses achieving Waste Wise certification. Again thanks to Donna and Karen and the Members of the Central Murray RWMG for an excellent year and I look forward to becoming Resource Smart.

We have endeavoured to strengthen our relationships with key stakeholders and other like minded organisations to achieve our objectives. I am particularly pleased to report that the Central Murray RWMG purchased a hybrid car towards the end of the financial year to reduce the Group’s emissions and operating costs but also as a way of leading by example. The Group will also be investigating methods to become carbon neutral. All five of our Member Councils have now been Waste Wise certified, a great effort. Our previous success in rolling out plastic bag free towns as a major behavioural change project continued strongly with the region by working collaboratively with traders and the community we have attained 33 towns ‘Plastic Shopping Bag Free’ and during the year held a recognition ceremony and distributed certificates for Cohuna and Leitchville achieving the milestone of two years plastic bag free. Praise goes to Donna Wardlaw our Regional Education Officer who has worked tirelessly with Member Councils and business to become Waste Wise increasing our numbers to 14. Donna has also visited 15 schools, composed over 40 press releases, been involved in numerous presentations with our Education Trailer, assisted the Don’t Waste North Central Football League project, Don’t be a Tosser campaign and given our website a face lift. Our busy year also included the co-ordination of the three Environmental Festivals for Schools held in Kerang, Wedderburn and Wycheproof, expansion and promotion of the recycling plastics range, utilisation of our Mobile Waste and Litter Education Trailer and Waste Wise Events Trailer, and training for landfill and transfer station operators. A highlight of the year for me was the joint project between the Central Murray RWMG, Member Councils, Environment Protection Authority and Vicroads to tackle litter and illegal dumping by strategically placing 66 Litter Report Signs across the region. We were fortunate to have the Chairperson of the EPA, Mick Bourke launch the project in Quambatook during May. The Group has also worked closely with Parks Victoria on illegal dumping issues. As part of our community education role the Central Murray RWMG hosted a viewing of the Al Gore film ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ at The Rex in Charlton. The night was a great success with 175 people attending from across the region and with some positive spin offs resulting from the attendance. 6 Annual Report 2006/2007 The Group rotated its meetings around the region and incorporated guest speakers into the agenda. The Gannawarra Shire Council and Swan Hill Rural City Council adopted updated Waste Management Plans. The Central Murray RWMG Audit Committee met four times during the year. At an operational level, the Central Murray RWMG continued to co-ordinate the collection of data for the Region, with Member Councils and contractors contributing to the quarterly standardised data collection program. An independent internal audit was undertaken on Risk Assessment with recommendations being adopted. On behalf of the Group I attended various workshops, seminars and conferences pertaining to waste management including Association Meetings, Cluster Meetings, Fringe Benefit Tax Seminar, Litter Strategy Forum, Illegal Dumping Forum, Annual Report Session, Department of Sustainability and Environment Financial Management Compliance Framework update and Business Planning Session. I also toured and visited landfills and transfer stations throughout the Region. Once again our diversion targets were slightly lower than we expected to be at this time largely due to the delay in the introduction of the expanded plastic range which did not come into effect across most of the Region until mid June 2007. As a Region we are confident that once the Loddon Shire implements a kerbside recycling system in October 2007 and the green waste collection system in Swan Hill is vamped up along with a new tip shop at the Swan Hill Landfill which will divert further waste from landfill that we will meet our set targets for 2008/2009. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to Neville as Chair
