This consultant report by Pragmatica uses three case studies to examine how well the Waste Minimisation Fund – Te Pūtea Whakamauru Para, and the Contaminated Sites and Vulnerable Landfill Fund – Tahua mō ngā Pae Hawa me ngā Ruapara, are delivering on their core purposes: to create value through a range of infrastructure investments, to reduce waste, boost recycling and reuse, and to remediate contaminated sites.
Key themes are that seed funding unlocks change, progress comes from many complementary actions, relationships drive results, the funds enable stewardship and kaitiakitanga, and the Waste Levy works best when paired with education.
Pragmatica also makes some recommendations on ways the funds' impact may be strengthened.
