Resource Up
With Resource Hub

We're happy to announce that Resource Hub has been officially appointed to the Local Government Procurement (LGP) Consulting Panel for Waste in New South Wales.

This means NSW councils can now engage Resource Hub directly for waste consultancy services through an established, pre-qualified procurement panel, without the need to run a separate tender process. It's a faster, simpler and fully compliant pathway for councils to access expert waste consulting support.

Our appointment runs for an initial three years — giving councils long-term confidence in partnering with us on their waste challenges.

Had a waste levy exemption knocked back?

You're not the only one – and it doesn't mean you've done anything wrong.

Right now we've got five people doing little else but exemptions, every day, across every state. We've seen just about every reason an application gets declined, and every spot people tend to get stuck.

So if you've had one knocked back and you're not sure what went wrong, or you're looking at the form not sure where to start, or you've read the guidance three times and you're still going in circles – give us a ring.

It doesn't have to turn into a project. Sometimes it's a ten-minute chat to point you in the right direction.

That's what we're here for.

What do you do when you discover a neighbouring council has been directing its residents to your landfill – without any formal agreement in place?

This is a real scenario we've encountered. A council with no landfill of its own had its customer service team look up the nearest option and list it on their website. Perfectly reasonable. Except the landfill they listed belonged to a neighbouring council – one that didn't ask where loads came from and had no out-of-region charge in place.

The result? They'd been absorbing the waste disposal costs of another council's ratepayers for years without knowing it.

Sometimes the most valuable thing an independent review finds has nothing to do with what's happening on site. It's about asking the questions nobody thought to ask. 👀

Does your facility know where its waste is actually coming from?

Meet Kate Blanchard, our Consultant, Systems & Contracts 👋

No two days look the same for Kate — from tender questionnaires and preparing clients invoicing to helping facilities pull reports and troubleshoot system issues, she's all about finding practical solutions that actually stick.

Kate came to us without a traditional waste industry background, and she sees that as a strength. Fresh eyes and a willingness to ask the obvious questions have a way of cutting through to better answers. (She does have family ties to the industry though — her mum's a long-timer, so she's not exactly a stranger to the world of waste!)

Outside of work, Kate is a qualified seamstress with an Advanced Diploma in Fashion Design, AND holds a Heavy Rigid truck licence — which comes in handy helping her beekeeper partner transport hives up and down the east coast. 🐝

We're so glad to have you on the team, Kate! … See MoreSee Less
