Waste—nappy rebate scheme
(Question No 867)

Ms Lawder asked the Minister for Transport and City Services upon notice, on 5 August 2022:

(1) Can the Minister provide an update on the investigation into introducing a nappy rebate scheme into the ACT.

(2) When can ACT residents expect to access a nappy rebate scheme.

Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) The ACT Government is continuing to take an educative approach to nappies to allow informed consumer choice. To support this approach, the ACT Government has developed a range of educational materials to encourage the use of more sustainable alternatives to disposable nappies. These initiatives are aimed at helping to assist the community to make informed choices for increasing the uptake of reusable alternatives to disposable nappies.

(2) Transport Canberra and City Services will investigate options to manage nappy waste as part of the planning for the rollout of the citywide food organics and garden organics (FOGO) service. In response to the Assembly resolution, the government will report back in June 2023 on how this waste stream will be addressed through future household collection services.
