The vision

The Circular North vision is to support northern Tasmania to transition to a Circular Economy by fostering collaboration and resource-sharing at a regional level, while aligning closely with state and national waste management targets.

Four goals have been developed to guide Circular North towards its vision, enabling a holistic approach to improving waste management in the region. These goals encompass Circular North’s role in supporting stakeholders, facilitating improvements in infrastructure, leading strategic direction, and advocating for regional development.
