In November 2003, The Barossa Council responded positively to a request from Hon John Hill MP, Minister for Environment, when Councils throughout the state were approached to be involved in contributing to achieving targets for reducing plastic bag litter associated with checkout bags. The report details Council's activities and budget expenditure related to the project. Featured within the report is a summary of how Zero Waste SA funds granted to Council were utilised and ongoing re-investment by Council in project initiatives. We trust that the information provided satisfies Zero Waste SA needs, in terms of comprehensive auditing of Program expenditure.
