Katherine Town Council is inviting Expressions of Interest from community members, local businesses, industry representatives, Aboriginal organisations and regional stakeholders to participate in the Waste Management Strategy Review Working Group.

Council’s current Waste Management Strategy is due to expire at the end of 2026. The Working Group will support Council in reviewing and developing a new Strategy that is practical, sustainable, financially responsible and suited to the needs of Katherine and the broader region.

This is an opportunity to help shape long-term decisions about waste, recycling, landfill planning, illegal dumping, education, organics management, resource recovery and future infrastructure.

The Working Group is advisory only. It will provide ideas and feedback to Council, but it does not have decision-making powers or the ability to incur expenditure.

Why it matters

Waste management affects everyone.

From kerbside bins and recycling to landfill planning, illegal dumping and the future of resource recovery, the decisions made now will shape how Katherine manages waste for years to come.

Council is looking for practical ideas, local knowledge and a broad mix of perspectives to help ensure the new Waste Management Strategy reflects community needs, industry realities and long-term sustainability.
