Interviews Smart City

How did stakeholders and the community react to the Envac system?

Stakeholders and visitors increasingly associate Maroochydore’s new CBD with its first-in-Australia underground, automated waste system—Amanda Yeates says it’s become a standout talking point nationally and internationally.
