Draft Waste Action Plan Submissions 21 to 30
Submission 21 GCC Response to Draft Waste Action Plan Glenorchy City Council welcomes the State Government’s commitment to supporting improvements to waste management and providing leadership at a state level. This shows a willingness to implement legislation and support important initiatives. We need a statewide approach that provides a consistent and effective system for all Tasmanians to combat the challenges of dealing with waste. The initiatives in the Draft Waste Action Plan highlight key areas and targets where Tasmania can take a strategic approach to waste management. Council needs detail on how the plan will be delivered and supports the requirement for more work on the policy and strategy that underpins the action plan. Council offers to work with State Government to share our waste management expertise and discuss how the plan can be developed to best meet the needs of our community. The Glenorchy community are committed to minimising waste and conserving our resources for the future. The goals of our waste management strategy are: 1. To promote the sustainable management of resources 2. To provide convenient and affordable waste services that meet the needs of the community 3. To minimise negative impacts of waste on the natural and built environments In particular, one of the actions under goal one is to collaborate with others regionally and participate in nationally initiatives. While the initiatives put forward in the action plan are bold and follow the trends seen in other states, we suggest that there needs to be more work at a local and regional level to ensure that we encourage greater collaboration. -

DERWENT VALLEY COUNCIL Enquiries: Jess Dallas File: 084 Telephone: (03) 6261 8517 25 June 2020 Andrew Harvey TWWHA Tourism Master Plan Project Manager Project Management Office PO Box 44 Hobart TAS 7001 By email to: [email protected] No hard copy to follow Dear Andrew TWWHA TOURISM MASTERPLAN – PUBLIC COMMENT Thankyou for the opportunity to comment on the above. As a Local Government Area which not only borders on, but has significant land mass within the TWWHA this document is particularly significant to the Derwent Valley. Recent growth in the adventure tourism and cruise ship market in the area also makes the Tourism Master Plan (Master Plan) relevant to our community. Those involved in the creation of the Master Plan should be commended on recognising the importance of regional dispersal of tourists to local economies and its inclusion with the document. Our Council commends DPIPWE on the overall direction provided by the Master Plan and looks forward to working together with stakeholders to implement the plan. Please find attached feedback on specific sections of the Master Plan. Yours sincerely Dean Griggs Circle Street, New Norfolk. P.O.
