Resource Hub is heading north! 🌴
Later this month, the team will be in Cairns and the FNQ region for the next LAWMAC (Local Authority Waste Management Action Committee) meeting (30–31 July), hosted by Cairns Regional Council – and we're proud to be coming on board as a shirt sponsor this round.
LAWMAC brings together councils and waste management folks from across northern and western Queensland to tackle the real, on-the-ground challenges of managing waste in the regions. It's exactly the kind of room we love being in – practical conversations, shared problems, and a genuine focus on better outcomes for local communities.
Chloe will be up there for the meeting, and the team's making the most of the trip with client work across Cairns & the FNQ region – see you soon Mareeba Shire Council, Tablelands Regional Council, Cassowary Coast Regional Council and Hinchinbrook Shire Council.
If you're heading to LAWMAC, come say hello 👋 We'd love to chat about what's working, what's tricky, and where we might be able to lend a hand.
See you in Cairns!

There's nothing better than a road trip and Oscar and Allard recently hit the road for a week across the Hunter region and surrounds.
Over five days, the team visited City of Newcastle, Port Stephens Council, Dungog Shire Council, Singleton Council, Upper Hunter Shire Council, Cessnock City Council, Central Coast Council, and Liverpool Plains Shire Council. Conversations covered everything from waste levy support and operational performance data, to training, moisture loss frameworks, software procurement, and landfill design.
It's a part of the world Oscar knows well — he's spent time with several of these councils over the years, which makes for some genuinely good catch-ups. For Allard, it was a chance to get on the ground, meet the teams, and see the work in context.
A week well spent. Thanks to everyone who made time for a coffee, a site visit, or a beer at Customs House 🍺

Meet Kylie, one of the true all-rounders on our team 👋
If something needs sorting, Kylie's usually the one to call. She supports clients across the lot – Waste Levy Returns, NSW OPDs, data governance, software troubleshooting, setting up new products, adjusting pricing, chasing down ticket issues, and delivering training. It's a genuinely broad remit, and her versatility and problem-solving mean clients get fast, accurate help no matter what they throw at her.
That calm, practical approach comes from a strong service background – over 3 years in the waste industry and 24 years in hospitality before that. It's why she's become the go-to person when clients need a steady hand across systems and processes.
Outside of work, Kylie is a big fan of AFL and Supercars (we dare you to mock the Swans in front of her!). She's also lacing up for the Walk for Hope fundraiser soon, getting behind a cause close to her heart.
Go well, Kylie – we're lucky to have you!

The Queensland Government recently sought feedback on proposed amendments to simplify litter administration, reduce regulatory burden and boost recycling. A couple of areas stood out for the team here.
A clearer definition of waste – better recognising material that's processed and recycled on site but doesn't yet have an end-of-waste code. Right now there's real inconsistency around when that material is considered "no longer waste" (or not waste at all), and clearer rules would help.
Less waste levy admin – including a proposed mechanism to extend volumetric survey timeframes. We've seen firsthand how a family or medical emergency in that final survey window can leave an operator non-compliant through no fault of their own, with no way to seek an extension. Resource Hub has put in a response backing that change – a small, practical fix that makes a real difference for operators doing the right thing.
