Dear Commissioner,
Waste Management Productivity Commission Draft Report

The Chamber of Commerce and Industry WA (CCIWA) notes the Productivity Commission's draft report on Waste Management.
CCIWA notes that the views and recommendations made in the draft report come largely from an economic perspective and CCITWA supports this approach. CCIWA supports the views and recommendations made in the draft report.
In particular our members support Draft Recommendation 12.2 which recommends that the responsibility for waste management in large urban centres should be shifted from local government to appropriately constituted regional bodies.

Should you have any queries regarding this letter please contact me on (08) 9365 7514 or mary.askey@cciwa.com

Yours sincerely
