Destination Management Plan
The Destination Management Plan is a collaborative plan for building and managing Maitland’s visitor economy.
The Destination Management Plan proposes a range of opportunities covering marketing and promotion, product development and infrastructure to enhance the City’s visitor economy.
We developed the plan with the help of 1,100+ ideas and suggestions from the community, tourism operators, local businesses and visitors.
Waste Services Management Plan
The Waste Services Management Plan outlines a review into Maitland’s waste services and provides an action plan for improvements to waste services in Maitland over the next three years.
It ties into our Environmental Sustainability Strategy (ESS) 2030, which outlines our strategic direction in relation to waste management and signals a shift towards a circular economy where resources are conserved, resource management services are provided efficiently, and the value of materials is maximised.
Several phases of consultation were conducted throughout 2022 to identify our community’s priorities on waste and environmental issues. More than 2,800 responses were received across a random phone survey and an opt in online survey.
