The South Burnett, Cherbourg and North Burnett councils are collaborating to help stamp out illegal dumping in their boundaries.<\/p>\n

The three councils will receive a grant of $158,500 from the State Government’s Local Government Illegal Dumping Partnerships program to fund an on-ground officer to investigate and prevent illegally dumped waste entering the environment.<\/p>\n

As well, Cherbourg Council has been allocated an extra $78,000 under the program.<\/p>\n

The State Government is funding 19 projects worth $3.6 million across 29 participating councils under the Illegal Dumping Partnerships program.<\/p>\n

Successful applicants were announced on Friday.<\/p>\n

The government also announced grants under the Local Government Illegal Dumping Hotspot Grants Program.<\/p>\n

A total of 32 councils were successful in applying for $1.35 million in grant funding under this scheme:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • South Burnett Regional Council will receive $14,300 to gather data on illegal dumping to establish a baseline data set to support the development of litter and illegal dumping intervention strategies and actions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • North Burnett Regional Council will receive $10,985 to map baseline data and install signs to support community engagement and awareness raising and conducting increased surveillance and compliance activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Toowoomba Regional Council will receive $60,000 to target illegal dumping hotspots through increased surveillance and compliance activities; conduct a targeted advertising campaign, community engagement, clean-up activities and install signs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Environment Minister Leeanne Enoch said illegal dumping had a serious impact on communities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \u201cThe Palaszczuk Government is currently fighting a war on waste, and we are ensuring that councils have the support they need to tackle this issue, to protect the environment and create local jobs,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

        The scheme follow a successful pilot project in the Fraser Coast, Bundaberg, Townsville and Gold Coast council areas.<\/p>\n

        \u201cWe have seen the success of the local government pilot partnership program, where we have already helped four councils increase jobs to combat illegal dumping,”\u00a0Minister Enoch said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
