This strategy builds on and supersedes the Northern Territory Environment Protection Authority’s Waste Management Strategy for the Northern Territory 2015-2022, and its implementation with consideration to other relevant key Territory policies and strategies.

The strategy adopts a whole-of-government approach, leverages opportunities identified across government’s priority areas, and responds to current and emerging national and local drivers around waste. It recognises the unrealised value of materials currently being discarded into landfill or the environment.
