Cockburn is the first council in Western Australia to set a zero waste target following the adoption of a Climate Change Strategy 2020-2030 in the City.Endorsed at the Council’s 10 September ordinary meeting, the strategy is a commitment to continue the City of Cockburn’s 20-year role as a leader in climate resilience and sustainability. Its vision for responsible waste management is for 100 per cent of non-hazardous waste to be diverted from landfill by 2030, in line with the State Government-endorsed waste hierarchy where avoidance of waste generation is the most preferred option.The inaugural strategy outlines a resilience roadmap with bold aspirational targets for 2030 including corporate targets of net zero emissions and a transition to 100 per cent renewable electricity.The roadmap’s 14 objectives include the City working with the Cockburn community and the State Government to achieve net zero community emissions by 2050, which aligns with the WA government’s proposed emissions reduction target. The objectives will be achieved with a comprehensive action plan to deliver innovative solutions for energy supply to eliminate greenhouse emissions, showcase world leadership in waste management and ensure best practice climate change adaptation methods.
