Its been a busy start to 2026 supporting NSW councils with OPD Exemptions! 📊
We've been working across the state helping councils by building and submitting their Operational Purpose Deduction (OPD) Claims ensuring that they are robust and gain NSW EPA approval in a timely manner with minimal hiccups.
Recent projects include submitting OPDs for Tweed, Kempsey, Central Coast, Hawkesbury, Lismore and Byron councils – providing expert guidance to ensure their OPDs meet EPA requirements!
We're also continuing our long term and ongoing partnerships with many of these Councils supporting them on project-by-project basis for all of their OPD needs! Thank you for the ongoing trust in managing your multi-million-dollar levy liabilities!
Whether it's specialised waste remote administration or waste levy and OPD support we are here to "get it done" and to make sure NSW councils stay compliant and confident with their waste levy obligations!

Happy International Women's Day!
This year's theme — Give to Gain — really resonates with how we show up at Resource Hub.
We're a small team. We lead a business in an industry that can still feel pretty male-dominated. And we've learned, over and over again, that the most powerful thing we can do is back each other.
Not in a lofty, corporate-campaign kind of way. In a practical, pick-up-the-phone kind of way.
That's what give to gain means to us — being the helping hands of industry. Reaching out, making connections, sharing what we know. Collaboration isn't a buzzword — it's how we actually get things done.
To every woman in our industry and our network: we see you, we're here for you, and we're always up for a conversation. 💚

Proud sponsors of the SA Women of WARR Leadership Breakfast! ⭐
At Resource Hub, we believe women doing important work in the waste and resource recovery sector deserve a seat at the table — wherever that table is.
That's why we're thrilled to have sponsored Penny Williams, General Manager at District Council of Streaky Bay, and Sandra Sanchez, Sustainability Officer at Cleanaway, to attend this year's SA Women of WARR Leadership Breakfast hosted by WMRR.
Penny and Sandra are exactly the kind of people this event is designed for — driving real change in their communities and organisations, and bringing perspectives that make the whole industry stronger.
The Women of WARR breakfast series exists to recognise women breaking down barriers in WARR, and we're proud to play a small part in getting the right people in the room.
Thank you to WMRR for continuing to champion women across the industry.
