Council is encouraging residents to share their views and concerns about litter and illegal dumping through a region-wide survey.
The Loddon Mallee Waste and Resource Recovery Group together with Macedon Ranges Shire Council is seeking the community’s views, concerns and priorities about litter and illegal dumping in the region through an online community survey.
The survey includes a series of questions about many aspects of litter and illegal dumping and is available on the Engage Victoria website
The results of the survey will help develop a Regional Litter and Illegal Dumping Plan that will include a number of actions to tackle the top five priorities.
Unfortunately, litter and illegal dumping are persistent problems in the region, Victoria and around Australia. While attitudes and behaviours have improved, we need continued action to reduce littering and illegal dumping.
The survey takes about 15 minutes to complete, is confidential and anonymous and individual responses will be collated and analysed as group data. As an incentive, participants can provide their email address or phone number (which is kept separate to the survey responses) to enter a draw to win a $100 gift card.
Surveys must be completed by midnight on Sunday 4 August 2019 and the results will be reported back to the community in the following months.
