Issue Date: April 2024


This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in councils of all sizes. Knowledge of the legislation and regulations within which councils must operate is essential. The unique nature of councils, as a tier of government directed by elected members and reflecting the needs of local communities, must be appropriately reflected.

This unit covers providing education programs to the public on issues of reduction, reuse and recycling of waste. The high public profile of council, and the unique role councils can play in educating the public on environmental matters, is recognised. The unit is appropriate for those responsible for developing public education programs.
