Current Priorities
SHOROC councils work together on a wide range of projects to achieve
a better deal for the community and provide regional leadership
through collaborative planning, networking, resource sharing and
advocacy. Some of the current priorities are detailed below and
in recent Press releases.
 Ban
E-Waste in Landfill
The SHOROC Councils are banning the kerbside collection and disposal
of e-waste – or electronic waste - to landfill.
This will mean e-waste will not be accepted in kerbside collections
in the Manly, Mosman, Warringah and Pittwater Council areas from
1 January 2010.
E-waste includes televisions, computers, printers, scanners, modems,
DVD players, CD players, VCRs and gaming machines.
This ban and lobbying by SHOROC has led to the Federal Minister
for the Environment recently announcing the introduction of a nationwide
e-waste recycling scheme from 2011 and the introduction of legislation
for extended producer responsibility (EPR) to make manufacturers
responsible for the recycling and safe disposal of e-waste. See
the fact sheets below for more information.
Why the ban?
Hazardous substances from e-waste such as lead, cadmium and mercury
leach into the soil when placed in landfill. Valuable resources
that can be recycled are also lost.
What can I do with my e-waste?
Councils will all hold centralised e-waste ‘drop-off days’
in the first half of 2010 for residents to drop off their e-waste
free-of-charge.
There are also many other ways to recycle and re-use e-waste safely
and responsibly.
E-waste fact sheets
Regional Directions
SHOROC is developing a long-term strategic document for the future
of the region – to be called “SHOROC Regional Directions”.
This will guide future priorities for SHOROC and its four member
councils and provide a framework for setting long term strategies
to respond to future population growth and the impacts of climate
change.
Draft issues papers to feed into development of Regional Directions
are currently under preparation under the following headings:
- Accessibility and Transport
- Health
- Housing
- Climate Change
- Ageing
- Employment and Economic Development
- Natural resource Management
- Social
Further issues may emerge or some of the above may be collapsed.
