Statewide Waste and Recycling Infrastructure Roadmap

Overview The Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (QLD) is seeking a supplier to produce a Statewide Waste and Recycling Infrastructure Roadmap and a supporting Investment Prospectus, working in collaboration with the Department. About The Queensland government's Less Landfill, More Recycling 2035: Queensland Waste Strategy identifies investing in modern infrastructure as a priority. The new Waste Strategy is backed by investment of $487 million over five years through the Waste Reduction and Recycling Activation Fund. Investment in infrastructure requires not just State government investment, but local, federal and private sector investment as well. Purpose A key action of the Waste Strategy is to develop a statewide waste and recycling infrastructure plan that identifies current and future material flows, infrastructure capacity and gaps, facility locations, supply chain options, land use planning considerations and priority investment opportunities. Objectives Together, the Roadmap and Investment Prospectus will provide a contemporary, evidence-based framework to guide decision-making on priority waste streams, recycling and resource recovery infrastructure to 2035 and beyond, and help identify key infrastructure needs and costed pathways to progress towards the targets in the Waste Strategy. Scope The scope includes: Production of a Statewide Waste and Recycling Infrastructure Roadmap Production of a supporting Investment Prospectus Delivery of both outputs in collaboration with the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation
