Getting seven councils to agree on anything is hard. Getting seven councils to agree on mattresses is harder.

That's roughly the challenge North East Waste took on this year – and the reason it worked is worth understanding, because it's not really about mattresses.

Problem waste doesn't respond to effort. You can run the best gate in the region and still have no viable answer for solar panels or EPS, because the material is bulky, the value is low, and the processor is four hours away. The constraint isn't will. It's volume.
Which means the only lever that actually moves is the boundary you're solving within.

Meet Sam – Senior Consultant at Resource Hub.

Sam's often the first person clients reach when something needs sorting. She handles regulatory queries, short-notice applications and day-to-day support for councils and operators across Australia – giving clear, practical answers when the clock is ticking.
She also leads project work, including Resource Hub's end-of-year campaigns for OSOP amendments and volumetric surveys, and is heavily involved in our larger waste material flow projects with clients like ABSC and COEX, turning complex data into clear, usable reporting.

Sam holds a double degree in Environmental Sustainability (Arts) and Logistics & Supply Chain Management (Business) from Swinburne University in Melbourne – a strong grounding in both environmental systems and operational processes. Since joining Resource Hub, she's grown quickly into a senior role, bringing energy, sharp attention to detail and a knack for making technical information look as good as it reads.

Outside of work, Sam's a keen runner who's already notched up two half-marathons- proof she brings the same pace and persistence to everything she does.

Great to have you on the team, Sam! 🙌 … See MoreSee Less

Forty sites. Two states. One deadline that doesn't move.

Volumetric surveys are a statutory requirement for landfill operators in Queensland and New South Wales – covering void space, waste disposal and stockpiled materials, and underpinning waste levy compliance. For a single site, that's already a coordination task: engaging a surveyor, getting the flight done, checking the output, lodging through the right portal, all before a fixed date.

Resource Hub managed that process end-to-end for 40+ councils and private operators across both states – surveyor engagement, compliance review, data validation, void space and compaction calculations, and submission through the relevant portals.

The result: every survey reviewed, finalised and uploaded before the statutory deadline, with no late or non-compliant submissions across the campaign.
