Two great days up in the Burdekin 🌱

Emily recently spent a couple of days with the Burdekin Shire Council Waste team, working through gatehouse operations, waste classification and the ins and outs of the Queensland Waste Levy - delivered across two days so the crew could keep their facilities ticking along without missing a beat.

But the real highlight? The team themselves. Engaged, full of questions, and genuinely passionate about the work they do for their community.

Here's Emily after wrapping up:
"An amazing two days with a super engaging team. They were so inviting, and I loved the conversations that sparked from the sessions. The Burdekin crew are genuinely passionate about the industry and were keen to get right across the Queensland Waste Levy."

A big thank you to the Burdekin Shire Council team for the warm welcome - it was a pleasure working alongside you πŸ‘πŸ»

A recent visit to Hawkesbury City Council Waste Management Facility with the team πŸ™ŒπŸ»

With four active projects currently underway - spanning operational planning, software procurement, and organics processing - it was the right time to get out from behind the screen and onto the ground.

Always good to see the operation in person, meet the team, and make sure the work we're doing reflects what's actually happening on site.

And yes, we did clock the stuffed toys trying to escape on the boom gate - did you?

We're happy to announce that Resource Hub has been officially appointed to the Local Government Procurement (LGP) Consulting Panel for Waste in New South Wales.

This means NSW councils can now engage Resource Hub directly for waste consultancy services through an established, pre-qualified procurement panel, without the need to run a separate tender process. It's a faster, simpler and fully compliant pathway for councils to access expert waste consulting support.

Our appointment runs for an initial three years β€” giving councils long-term confidence in partnering with us on their waste challenges.

Had a waste levy exemption knocked back?

You're not the only one - and it doesn't mean you've done anything wrong.

Right now we've got five people doing little else but exemptions, every day, across every state. We've seen just about every reason an application gets declined, and every spot people tend to get stuck.

So if you've had one knocked back and you're not sure what went wrong, or you're looking at the form not sure where to start, or you've read the guidance three times and you're still going in circles - give us a ring.

It doesn't have to turn into a project. Sometimes it's a ten-minute chat to point you in the right direction.

That's what we're here for.

What do you do when you discover a neighbouring council has been directing its residents to your landfill - without any formal agreement in place?

This is a real scenario we've encountered. A council with no landfill of its own had its customer service team look up the nearest option and list it on their website. Perfectly reasonable. Except the landfill they listed belonged to a neighbouring council - one that didn't ask where loads came from and had no out-of-region charge in place.

The result? They'd been absorbing the waste disposal costs of another council's ratepayers for years without knowing it.

Sometimes the most valuable thing an independent review finds has nothing to do with what's happening on site. It's about asking the questions nobody thought to ask. πŸ‘€

Does your facility know where its waste is actually coming from?

Meet Kate Blanchard, our Consultant, Systems & Contracts πŸ‘‹

No two days look the same for Kate β€” from tender questionnaires and preparing clients invoicing to helping facilities pull reports and troubleshoot system issues, she's all about finding practical solutions that actually stick.

Kate came to us without a traditional waste industry background, and she sees that as a strength. Fresh eyes and a willingness to ask the obvious questions have a way of cutting through to better answers. (She does have family ties to the industry though β€” her mum's a long-timer, so she's not exactly a stranger to the world of waste!)

Outside of work, Kate is a qualified seamstress with an Advanced Diploma in Fashion Design, AND holds a Heavy Rigid truck licence β€” which comes in handy helping her beekeeper partner transport hives up and down the east coast. 🐝

We're so glad to have you on the team, Kate!

Recently Lacey was on the road with Midwaste Regional Waste Group - joining member councils across the NSW Mid North Coast to talk waste levies and facility best practice.

One thing stood out: across this region, neighbouring councils run their waste facilities with real consistency - same routines, same approach to best practice. That matters, because customers in this part of NSW often use more than one site, and a familiar process makes their experience a whole lot smoother.

But every facility still has its own character. Consistency where it counts. Identity where it matters.

A big thanks to MidWaste Regional Waste Group, Port Macquarie Hastings Council, Nambucca Valley Council and Bellingen Shire Council for a great couple of days!

That's a wrap on Waste 2026!

It was three days jam packed with expert keynotes, practical workshops, live demonstrations and networking, so much networking!

To everyone who pulled up a yellow chair to say hello, attended Lacey and Chloe's Waste Data Maturity Workshop, or joined us for a boogie on the dancefloor β€” thank you. We loved seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

But, the real thanks goes to the people who make this industry what it is. The councils, operators, regulators, and consultants working through the everyday realities of resource recovery. The hallway chats, the workshop questions, the catch-ups over coffee and dinners β€” that's where the good stuff happens.

We can't wait to see you all again at Waste 2027!

Between volumetric surveys, levy data submissions, exemption reporting and all the other annual obligations, the annual compliance calendar can feel relentless!

Our Annual Governance & Compliance Checklist lays the whole year out in one place. Structured around the PLAN β†’ MONITOR β†’ REPORT cycle, it walks through the key dates and tasks WARR operators need to stay on top of - from booking your volumetric survey flight, to lodging your Annual Report, and even those best practice steps you can do to keep on top of things! We prep these for clients each year - so thought we'd make it available for everyone!!!

We've started with a focus on QLD and NSW for the checklist, but reach out if you are based in another state and we can send across your state specific checklist!

And given it's Coffs Waste 2026 week, there's also a dedicated section for NSW operators to map obligations against their facility's EPL anniversary date

Print it. Pin it. Pass it around the team.

Last Friday, Kate Denham from the Resource Hub team headed to Perth for the Waste Management and Resource Recovery Association of Australia Women of WARR Leadership Breakfast - and she wasn't alone.

We were proud to sponsor two women from regional Western Australia to attend: Cathy Bailey from City of Albany and Karlie Canning from Shire of Northam.

Past attendees commented on how the sponsorship is a great confidence booster on a personal and professional level. It helps show the recipients what they are capable of, as well as the massive and growing community of supportive women.

We're bringing the same sponsorship to the next event - in Brisbane! So, if you're based in regional Queensland and would like to apply for a sponsored place, the application link is in the first comment below πŸ‘‡
