Scoping Requirements for NT Remote and Very Remote Disaster Waste Management

The Scoping Requirements for NT Remote and Very Remote Disaster Waste Management explored the importance of disaster waste management for remote and very remote regions of the Northern Territory. The project aimed to identify critical disaster waste management issues for a range of natural disasters, current limitations and challenges for disaster waste management in remote regions, and interventions required for effective disaster waste management in the future.

The report was a collaborative effort by Dr. Deepika Mathur (Northern Institute, Charles Darwin University), Dr. Robin Gregory (RDA NT), and Dr. Stephen Sutton, bringing together expertise in waste management, regional development, and disaster management. Funding was provided by the National Territory’s Risk Reduction Program (NTRRP) administered by the Department of the Chief Minister and Cabinet, and Regional Development Australia, Northern Territory (RDA NT).
