The Goulburn Valley Waste and Resource Recovery Group, together with Murrindindi Shire Council, is seeking the community’s views, concerns and priorities about litter and illegal dumping in the region.

The results of the survey will help develop a ‘Regional Litter and Illegal Dumping Plan’ which will include a number of actions to tackle the top five litter and illegal dumping priorities.

All survey responses are confidential and anonymous, and individual responses will be collated and analysed as group data.

Murrindindi Shire Council Waste Portfolio Councillor, Eric Lording said while attitudes and behaviours around littering and dumping rubbish have improved, we need continued action.

“Unfortunately littering and illegal rubbish dumping are persistent problems in our region, state and all around Australia – it is so disheartening to see.

“Thanks to the Victorian Government for supporting the gathering of community insights and feedback so we can take on the challenges of litter and illegal dumping,” Cr Lording said.

To have your say, visit www.engage.vic.gov.au/regional-litter-and-illegal-dumping-plans/goulburn-valley before Sunday August 3 and fill in the survey. The survey only takes 10 minutes or so to complete and participants will go in the draw to win a $100 Visa gift card, supplied by GVWRRG.
