As the Minerals and Waste Planning Authority (MWPA), ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø has a statutory obligation to plan for a steady and adequate supply of minerals and enough facilities to manage waste arising in the county. These are strategically important issues that have local and regional cross-boundary implications. The MWPA also seeks to ensure that the impacts of minerals and waste management development in the county are controlled to acceptable levels and opportunities to grow ÌÇÐÄvlog¹ÙÍø's economy, address health inequalities, enable a greener future and empower thriving communities are maximised.
