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

Recently Lacey was on the road with Midwaste Regional Waste Group – joining member councils across the NSW Mid North Coast to talk waste levies and facility best practice.

One thing stood out: across this region, neighbouring councils run their waste facilities with real consistency – same routines, same approach to best practice. That matters, because customers in this part of NSW often use more than one site, and a familiar process makes their experience a whole lot smoother.

But every facility still has its own character. Consistency where it counts. Identity where it matters.

A big thanks to MidWaste Regional Waste Group, Port Macquarie Hastings Council, Nambucca Valley Council and Bellingen Shire Council for a great couple of days! … See MoreSee Less

That's a wrap on Waste 2026!

It was three days jam packed with expert keynotes, practical workshops, live demonstrations and networking, so much networking!

To everyone who pulled up a yellow chair to say hello, attended Lacey and Chloe's Waste Data Maturity Workshop, or joined us for a boogie on the dancefloor — thank you. We loved seeing old friends and meeting new ones.

But, the real thanks goes to the people who make this industry what it is. The councils, operators, regulators, and consultants working through the everyday realities of resource recovery. The hallway chats, the workshop questions, the catch-ups over coffee and dinners — that's where the good stuff happens.

We can't wait to see you all again at Waste 2027!

Between volumetric surveys, levy data submissions, exemption reporting and all the other annual obligations, the annual compliance calendar can feel relentless!

Our Annual Governance & Compliance Checklist lays the whole year out in one place. Structured around the PLAN → MONITOR → REPORT cycle, it walks through the key dates and tasks WARR operators need to stay on top of – from booking your volumetric survey flight, to lodging your Annual Report, and even those best practice steps you can do to keep on top of things! We prep these for clients each year – so thought we'd make it available for everyone!!!

We've started with a focus on QLD and NSW for the checklist, but reach out if you are based in another state and we can send across your state specific checklist!

And given it's Coffs Waste 2026 week, there's also a dedicated section for NSW operators to map obligations against their facility's EPL anniversary date

Print it. Pin it. Pass it around the team.
