Elected Members
Regional Councillors
The Resource Recovery Group's current elected members are:
Karen Wheatland - Chair, Regional Councillor
City of Melville
Cr Karen Wheatland is in her second term as an elected member, first being elected in 2017, at the City of Melville and is their representative on the Council.
She is the Resource Recovery Group’s representative on Municipal Waste Advisory Group, (MWAC).
Cr Wheatland is excited to participate in the waste sector as she identifies the opportunity to divert waste from landfill and in turn reducing the rate of growth of emissions from methane into the atmosphere. With more waste diversion through FOGO, the Resource Recovery Group has received credit through Federal Government approved carbon offsets, from composting the organic fraction of the waste stream from landfill to FOGO.
A strong advocate for FOGO, Cr Wheatland is looking forward to being a part of Resource Recovery Group and to help grow FOGO uptake that will give the Resource Recovery Group’s customers the opportunity to develop a new revenue stream from processing FOGO.
