Litter Prevention Plan – Council wants to hear from you!
Hawkesbury City Council has been successful in obtaining a grant to develop a forward-thinking Litter Prevention Plan. This plan will reflect Council’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and aims to enhance organisational capability for effective, strategic, and sustainable litter management and prevention into the future.
The NSW Environment Protection Authority’s Litter Prevention Grants Program aims to facilitate action and inspire leadership in litter prevention to ensure a healthy and thriving environment for the future. The program supports the new litter targets outlined in the NSW Waste and Sustainable Materials Strategy 2041 (WASM). Additional information regarding the grant program can be found here www.epa.nsw.gov.au/working-together/grants/litter-prevention-grants-program
Additionally, the Strategy will direct the delivery of Goal 6 of Council’s adopted Hawkesbury Waste and Resource Recovery Strategy, to ‘Reduce Litter’. The adopted Strategy can be viewed at www.hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/243559/Waste-Strategy-Draft-2022-pages.pdf
As a first step in the planning process, Council is engaging with the community in the Hawkesbury Local Government Area (LGA) to gain valuable insights into litter challenges and opportunities from a community perspective.
What is litter? Litter is the small items that would fit into a plastic bag. Illegal dumping is larger items e.g., mattresses, tyres, etc. Please note that illegal dumping is OUTSIDE the scope of this survey.
Here’s how to get involved!
If you are a resident in the Hawkesbury LGA, you can provide input via a short survey. It will take less than 10 minutes to complete, and responses can be anonymous if you prefer. Take the survey at www.yourhawkesbury-yoursay.com.au/community-views-on-the-litter-challenges-in-hawkesbury-city-council-area
This project is an NSW Environment Protection Authority Waste and Sustainable Materials Strategy initiative, funded from the Waste Levy.

Nominations open for the Natalie Burton Memorial Award
Do you know a high school student who has shown great strength by overcoming adversity? Now is your chance to nominate them for the Natalie Burton Memorial Award.
Hawkesbury City Council has called for nominations for the annual Natalie Burton Memorial Award on behalf of the Burton, Turner and Lawrance families. Community members are encouraged to nominate any high school student from a high school in the Hawkesbury area whom they feel could be awarded with the prestigious Natalie Burton Memorial Award and $200 prize money.
The award is intended for a recipient who has faced a challenging circumstance and, despite this adversity, has still succeeded through their personal application and determination. This could be a disability, illness or a serious accident, the loss of a family member or other situations that sometimes present in life.
The award is open to male or female students and is not restricted to academic achievement; it may take the form of community, sporting or general achievements and improvements.
Natalie Burton was a remarkable individual who died from cancer in March 2003 at the age of 32. Natalie was herself an exceptional student who accomplished a great deal during her life. This award aims to see Natalie’s life and her extraordinary achievements inspire local students to overcome adversity in their own lives to still achieve.
