​The MAV's annual local government environment policy forum in October will this year focus on waste management and resource recovery. 2011 is shaping up to be one of the most significant in recent history in waste policy for Victoria with Victorian Auditor General's report on municipal waste, the Sustainability Victoria review and the major waste policy review run by the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE). This forum is a fantastic opportunity to provide sector level input into the DSE Waste Policy review.
