Dear Ministry for the Environment,

I noted,

Waste Advisory Board closed 4 March 2026

May I ask how you called for public nomination and on what platform you have call for public nominations e.g. govt.jobs website. A copy of your ad as well and pay rate. Also, how many applications you have received for each of the role from the public and how many you have received from other nominating agencies such as TPK or Ministry of women etc for your role. How many you have shortlisted and how many you have interviewed. How many vacancies are you looking to fill for this round.

Also the name of current member of the Waste Advisory Board and their term of appointment, start date and end date.

Yours faithfully,

john luke
