Recycling for Australia Day

Gosford Council has resolved to trial "best practice waste recycling" for Australia Day celebrations on the Woy Woy foreshore area.

It has also resolved that, following the celebrations, a report be prepared on the implementation of "best practice recycling" at outdoor community events held by council.

A council staff report stated that: "it would be beneficial for both education of waste management throughout the community and also to highlight Gosford Council's commitment to recycling that Council minimise the waste to landfill from these events".

The motion was originally to include celebrations at the Gosford waterfront and also at Wagstaffe Point, but it was argued that there was not enough time to prepare for this.
