What we are doing
Waste Management and Minimisation Plan
Our Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2018-24 outlines the strategy, action plan and implementation timeframes for promoting effective waste management and minimisation across the district.
We work regionally on waste minimisation, alongside Stratford, New Plymouth, and Taranaki Regional Councils. The Zero Waste Taranaki website gives an overview of current waste minimisation efforts and opportunities.
Natural Environments Fund
The Natural Environments Fund was established to promote and assist the protection, restoration, or enhancement of areas of significant biodiversity, indigenous vegetation and/or significant habitats of indigenous fauna on private land throughout the District.
Both individuals and organisations are eligible to apply. Applications for Natural Environment Funding grants may only be accepted for requests between $5,000 and $30,000, but smaller grants may be allocated on a case-by-case basis.
The applicant’s contribution towards the project must be clearly detailed in the relevant application form. An applicant’s contribution towards the total project costs does not need to be financial and can include volunteer time or in-kind support. Council funding is complementary rather than a primary funder. Priority will be given to applicants that can demonstrate they are seeking and/or have secured other sources of funding.
