The State waste infrastructure plan provides a long-term information framework, and principles, to guide decision making for the planning and development of waste and resource recovery infrastructure in Western Australia. 

With an outlook to 2050, the plan focuses on the built waste and recycling infrastructure needed for the State, region by region, to achieve Waste Strategy targets in 2030. 

The plan identifies, prioritises and quantifies the waste infrastructure needs of each region of the State, and includes some of the waste infrastructure characteristics, challenges, and opportunities​ unique to each region​. 

The new Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy 2030, currently out for public consultation, proposes further analysis in priority regions. A key proposal within the draft strategy is to develop regional waste and recycling infrastructure plans for priority regions in collaboration with regional development commissions.
