Goulburn-Mulwaree
Update
16 December 2011
Our project has been most successful by raising the awareness of recycling overall.
The list of strategies that we planned and executed are as follows.
- We planned and printed our education brochures, explaining what was recyclable.
- We planned and presented our questionnaire to the GOULBURN Mulwaree Council Environment Committee and also the CBD Recycling Working Party 2010.
- We requested that this questionnaire be thoroughly examined and ratified by these committees.
- We collated a database of businesses in the CBD
- We invited SOT to address the GOULBURN Rotary Club on SOT’s goals.
- The GOULBURN Chamber of commerce were fully briefed at one of their meetings on what we were going to accomplish after getting all the data together, from the survey.
- Media releases on the project went to The Goulburn Post and the Goulburn-Mulwaree Council Newsletter and local radio.
- Letters were posted to all businesses preparing them for a face-to-face visit.
- 300 business were contacted face-to-face.
- Over 100 surveys were completed on the day of our visit..
- Just under a further 100 emailed, faxed or posted their responses back.
- We are currently putting together a full report on every question that was in the survey, and the statistics and results will be forwarded asap.
