Victorian Government Implementation Plan 2025
The Implementation Plan will continue driving ambitious reform to the waste and recycling sector by 2030, building on the momentum and progress established through the Victorian Government’s 10-year circular economy policy, Recycling Victoria: A New Economy.
It reflects Victoria’s continuing leadership in reducing waste and pollution, increasing jobs, and creating a sustainable and thriving circular economy.
The Victorian Government will report annually on the initiatives identified in this Plan.
The Australian Government will publish a national report on overall progress against the NWPAP targets each year.
