5. Developing and Implementing the Area Waste Plan
There are a number of important tasks to be taken forward following the publication of the
AWP for the Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway Area. These actions will assist the delivery of
an integrated and sustainable waste-management system:
- Clearly define the future role of the WSAG.
- Take forward specific actions from the AWP.
- Monitor the implementation of the AWP.
- Link the AWP to the development planning system.
5.1 Future Role of WSAG
The WSAG and local Waste Producers and Waste Industry Fora will be
maintained as the focal point for the development of the AWP. The partnerships developed in
these groups provide a long-term development resource and a way of developing expertise on a
wide range of issues relating to the development of the National Waste Strategy: Scotland.
Waste Strategy Area Co-ordinators will:
- provide ongoing facilitation and co-ordination to ensure that the
range of national projects related to the National Waste Strategy are integrated into the AWP;
- be responsible for co-ordinating the WSAG;
- report on the annual progress of AWP development.
Each WSAG member has a responsibility both individually and collectively to play their part
in implementing the plan. Future tasks for the Group include:
- Implementation of AWP BPEO.
- Implementation of actions in AWP.
- Monitoring and review implementation of the AWP.
- Monitoring and assist with preparation of bids to the Scottish
Executive's Strategic Waste Fund.
- Monitor and provide guidance, if required, on development applications
for significant waste-management infrastructure.
- Support the continuation of local fora to ensure future development
of the AWP.
- Formation of a parallel group, to address commercial and Industrial
wastes.
The WSAG must have both the expertise and authority to deliver on the agreed Actions. To
ensure this is possible the following action must be investigated as a matter of priority.
Action 17
