Priority One invites you to participate in an engaging workshop focused on the construction sector’s role in waste management and the wider circular economy. Following the success of our previous three Construction Sector Workshops, we are excited to bring together a diverse range of businesses to discuss insights gained and plan for a collaborative project that will drive positive change in our region.

This workshop aims to address the challenges and opportunities surrounding waste management in the construction industry across the Western Bay of Plenty. With the support of local councils (Tauranga City Council, Bay of Plenty Regional Council & Western Bay of Plenty District Council), Priority One has identified key project opportunities that will shape the future of sustainability in our region. We will delve into industry-wide waste management practices and explore the potential of the circular economy.

Facilitated by design thinking specialist Karl Stevenson, the workshop will provide a platform for open discussions and collaborative problem-solving. Together, we will examine the insights gained from our previous workshops, identify the necessary infrastructure and services needed to support construction waste management, and finalise the details of the proposed waste and circular economy project.

We have secured an exceptional line-up of speakers, experts in their respective fields, who will provide invaluable insights and practical guidance during the workshop:

Together, we will identify critical infrastructure and services needed to enhance resource recovery and pave the way for a sustainable future.
