AU: Container deposit scheme for Queensland

24 June 2016

Environment Minister Steven Miles has welcomed the announcement that the LNP will support a container deposit scheme (CDS) for Queensland. There is funding to develop a CDS in the coming State Budget. An Advisory Group has been established to assist in better understanding the issues and design of a scheme.
Their work will feed into a discussion paper for public consultation for later this year. The minister is working closely with New South Wales – who’ve committed to introduce their scheme by 2017 - to ensure any scheme for Queensland is consistent on the key elements with what is rolled out south of the border (Media Statement Queensland Government, 5 June 2016).
