Strategies for waste management in Buloke are not developed in isolation.  Buloke is a member of the Loddon Mallee Waste and Resource Recovery Group (LMWRRG), together with the municipalities of City of Greater Bendigo, Gannawarra and Loddon and Macedon Ranges Shire Councils, Mildura Rural City Council,  Mount Alexander Shire Council, Swan Hill Rural City Councils and Wakool Shire Council (Associate) (NSW). The Loddon Mallee Waste and Resource Recovery Group (LMWRRG) is a statutory body with responsibilities for regional waste management planning and coordination.  Planning for waste management in Buloke needs to consider the regional context, as well as Victorian and Commonwealth Government policies and regulations. To find out more, visit the LMWRG website and Kerbside Pride.
