KESAB has strongly advocated the implementation of increased ability to expiate litterers through a public reporting system and supported the Local Nuisance and Litter Control Bill.
Dob in a Litterer enforcement legislation was implement in February 2017 and the first full year of operation resulted in 1,700 reports being received and expiated showing total income of $318,883 for the period.
Outcomes were mixed when compared with similar interstate litter enforcement initiatives (Vic, NSW, WA) which achieve considerably higher success rates and earnings from expiation income.
